- U.S. City & County Web Data API This geographic names data set provides a “mashup” of URLs for official city and county government web sites and city and county location data from the USGS Geographic Names Information System (GNIS). GNIS data includes incorporated places, census designated areas, unincorporated places, counties, and populated places. http://api.sba.gov/doc/geodata.html
Open Property Violations Pre Feb 2010, data.kcmo.gov We would like to see over time to help identify problem properties.
Comment: Eric R. Working on it! Should be our highest quality data yet. Also, about 250,000-300,000 observations in the dataset.
Demographic data recent - ethnicity, race, median household income, age, education, owned versus rental, multi-family versus single family, population count and density.
Comment: Eric R. We are trying to assemble this in house but our timeline is 1-2 months out. It’s fairly challenging for us to assemble this data. The Census is where we get our info. We are going to talk with NYC and see how they pull their ACS/Census data. I’m guessing it’s via API.
KIVA This will be a great dataset. We are actively working with Jackson County to create an automatic feed of this data from them to our servers. Data would be available with keys to parcel id and such. We will have all 4 counties worth of data once we get Jackson counties feed built. The Data would come from our Treasury division. You may be able to scrape it via the county APN -> For example > http://maps.jacksongov.org/PropertyReport/propertyReport.cfm?pid=12-940-05-03-00-0-00-000
A list of absentee owners by address - currently they go through KIVA and find properties where the property address does not match the owners address. Buildings might be a way to find, it is a list of buildings, housefacts, last updated September 25, 2014. Contains Building ID, Parcel ID, Building Type, address of building, Lat, Lng, owner name & address.
Population / number of households moving in/out of a neighborhood (census data, property tax data, car registrations, etc.) Most of this would come from the ACS and Census data. Would be super interesting to see this over time. However, neighborhood boundaries shift over time too. Our neighborhood boundaries are presently mapped to census neighborhoods.
Eric R. is check with planning on this but it may be a long-term project.
