When the folks from the Ottawa Neighbourhood Study present the latest version of
the uber-local database to the council’s community and protective services
committee on Monday morning, they’ll have quite a bit to boast about. There’s
the improved website, which is more informative, better looking and more
interactive than it has ever been since the study was first released in 2008.
There’s a mapping feature that lets users compare neighbourhoods, or look at
comparisons of just one particular area of interest — say, the average distance
to a grocery store in a neighbourhood. In previous versions of the Ottawa
Neighbourhood Study (ONS), each neighbourhood was profiled in narrative form,
but now the information is all laid out in charts — making the data clearer and
easier to find. via
