Vital Signs Open Data Portal

Vital Signs Open Data Portal Vital Signs are data-points compiled from a variety of reliable sources that “take the pulse” of Baltimore’s neighborhoods. These community-based indicators form a picture of any given neighborhood’s quality of life and overall health. Vital Signs help community members, decision makers, and funders to measure progress towards meaningful, positive outcomes at the community level, and measure needs in specific and actionable ways. Explore the indicators below, either using a keyword search or exploring the Vital Signs topic areas. Explore the Indicators: Census Demographics Housing and Community Development Children and Family Health Crime and Safety Workforce and Economic Development Arts and Culture Education and Youth Sustainability Chapter Narratives About Vital Signs are clusters of neighborhoods and are organized around Census tract boundaries, which are consistent statistical boundaries. In some cases, CSA boundaries may cross neighborhood boundaries. There are 55 CSAs in Baltimore City. Neighborhood lines often do not fall along CSA boundaries, but CSAs are representations of the conditions occurring within those particular neighborhoods. The CSAs were originally created in 2002 and were revised for Vital Signs 10 using new 2010 Census Tract boundaries. There are no anticipated boundary revisions in 2020 but some CSA names were updated to reflect the history and identity of the City's neighborhoods.
