Highlighting CT Open Data: Certified Organic Growers

The Connecticut State Data Center has recently been working on visualizations that highlight some of the data available on the Connecticut Open Data Portal.

This fourth visualization is a simple look at USDA-certified organic growers across the State of Connecticut. The map allows you to filter based on the county where the growers are located or by the body that provided their certification. Further, there’s a wildcard match bar that allows you to search for specific kinds of produce and goods and see which growers are specializing in those products. You can see the original data here.

Highlighting CT Open Data: Brownfield Remediation Assistance

The Connecticut State Data Center has been working on visualizations that highlight some of the data available on the Connecticut Open Data Portal.

This third visualization uses data to provide an overview of brownfield remediation around the state, focusing in particular on projects that have received funding assistance from different government sources. In all, there are 173 financially-assisted remediation projects featured since 2005. You can see the original data here.

Using this visualization allows you to see what projects are happening where, who’s funding those projects, and how much land is being reclaimed and for how much. One page provides an interactive pie chart that can be filtered by municipality and span of time, allowing for comparison of funding sources in different periods and places. One map focuses on remediation assistance applicants; the filters on this map allow for viewing certain projects based on applicant municipality or applicant name. As with previous visualizations, there’s also a GoogleMaps interface that allows for seeing the remediation sites with a satellite basemap and Google Street View.

Highlighting CT Open Data: Hartford Planning Applications

The Connecticut State Data Center has been working on visualizations that highlight some of the data available on the Connecticut Open Data Portal.

This second visualization is a look at planning applications submitted to the City of Hartford between June 30th, 2009 and November 10th, 2014. The original data can be found here.

This visualization includes three views. The first is a map that can be easily searched by street name or filtered by date of application and application type. The second view is a GoogleMaps interface that allows a user to view the data over satellite imagery and even use Google Street View to try and see specific properties. In addition, there is an interactive area chart that tracks the total number of applications submitted per year, including those totals broken down by the type of application.

Highlighting CT Open Data: 2011 Home Sales

The Connecticut State Data Center has been working on visualizations that highlight some of the data available on the Connecticut Open Data Portal.

The first is a look at home sales (above $2,000) in the State of Connecticut during the year 2011. The data covers 140 of the 169 towns in the State. For each individual sale, the data includes assessed home price, actual sale price, geographic coordinates, and the unique sale serial number. You can see the original data here.

In addition to the more statistical views on the first page of the visualization, the second page features the data on GoogleMaps. This allows for changing the basemap to satellite imagery and even using Google Street View to try and get a look at specific houses.
