Connecticut Schools Map via Socrata Platform
Using the Socrata platform for the Connecticut open data portal, I used the visualization and filter tools to create this visualization. The visualization differentiates different schools in Connecticut by charter schools, technical schools, magnet schools, state agencies, regional schools, and district schools. The user is able to visually see the points on the map and be able to differentiate the different types of schools in each parts of the regions in Connecticut.
Dynamic polygon legend for GFT search-and-filter map
Thanks to open-source code and inspiration from Derek Eder in Chicago, we have created a dynamic polygon legend for our search-and-filter map template that draws data from user-friendly Google Fusion Tables. When users click on different thematically shaded background layers, the data ranges magically appear in the legend. Check out the demo that displays schools (points) on top of two polygon layers: median household income and unemployment rates for Connecticut towns. Download the code and build your own with our instructions. It even looks good on a smartphone!

Housing Mobility Map with CT Open Communities Alliance
Open Communities Alliance is a new civil rights organization that promotes access to opportunity for all people through education, organizing, advocacy, research, and partnerships. Erin Boggs, executive director of CT OCA, began working on a “Housing Mobility Map” with Prof. Jack Dougherty at the Connecticut Inequality Hackathon in spring 2014, and Trinity students continued to assist her in summer 2014. Read more about what Jack learned by participating in his first hackathon.
The Housing Mobility Map (based on Derek Eder’s open-source template) allows families and housing counselors to enter the address of a possible apartment or house, view surrounding neighborhood assets, and evaluate the level of opportunity in that census tract, based on a recent report commissioned by the CT Fair Housing Center. To explore the current version of this tool, enter in the apartment or home you are considering here.
