About Us
The Public Good leverages data and conversations to support strategic decisions and business solutions that benefit communities and social change. We advise local and global clients with insights and analysis based on facts as well as the valuable experiences and preferences of community stakeholders, policy makers and funders.
We bring human perspective to our work with data and we unravel complex processes with the goal of finding solutions rooted in community needs.
We believe that open government data should be accessible to anyone for the benefit of communities and society in general. “Open data is data that can be freely used, re-used and redistributed by anyone - subject only, at most, to the requirement to attribute and sharealike.”
We also believe in the value of looking at environmental and social outcomes from a neighborhood perspective. We created these maps to provide glimpses into the crisis of housing instability using open data provided by New York City, the US Census and other sources.We're a team of passionate thinkers and doers, dedicated to building with purpose and clarity. Collaboration and curiosity drive everything we do.
Housing evictions when the moratorium ended.
On January 15, 2022 New York lifted the moratorium that protected residents from eviction from their homes.
Between January 16 and March 4 this year, 198 residential evictions have been filed throughout New York City.
2017 saw a total 20,810 residential evictions City-wide.
2021 - January 15, 2022 evictions dropped to 397, thanks to the moratorium preventing landlords from evicting families and other adults from their homes.
Clicking on any district shows the total number of evictions for each Council District.
In the Bronx, Council Districts 14, 15, and 16 (darkest blue) are bearing the brunt of this difficulty.
