HUD Releases New Geospatial Data Resources

HUD recently launched a new Geospatial Data Resources portal page on its HUD USER site. The site contains a wealth of maps and geographic information system (GIS) resources depicting demographic and housing data across the country. In addition to resources available for download, the site includes a collection of interactive mapping applications that allow researchers, housing practitioners, and the general public to map the distribution of HUD grants, identify the needs of a particular community, locate areas that qualify for additional grant money, and much more. With the release of this resource page, HUD hopes to make its geospatial data and GIS resources more accessible to the housing community as well as to the public.
