MKE Indicators

Explore interactive data maps for the City of Milwaukee designed to bring key information to community members, planners, policy makers, and neighborhood organizations across the city.

The Neighborhood Portraits show neighborhood-specific data from the U.S. Census Bureau’s American Community Survey that describes population and housing in an easy-to-reference format.

Data Chats

Hosting a community conversation about a topic or issue that concerns your neighborhood or community is even more powerful when supported by data and personal stories. Learn more about our Guide to Data Chats here.
