July 21, 2014October 15, 2014Veronica Armendariz

Great By 8 is a community collaborative focused on improving access to high quality services in the areas of early childhood education and health in the West Hartford area.

For GreatBy8, we created an interactive map that is able to allow users to look up their addresses in West Hartford and find different resources (such as schools, early childhood programs, health programs, and other programs) as well as seeing the demographics in each of their individual census tracts. Within each of the census tracts users are able to see the number of children 0-9, median household incomes, and percentage of adults with a bachelor’s degree and above. To see the different schools, early childhood centers, and resources around you as well as other demographics according to your own census area, type in your address here.

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.
