About

ChiVes is a data collaborative and community mapping application that brings data on Chicago’s environment together at the neighborhood level.

Chicago’s urban environment has profound impacts on the health of communities and individuals. A handful of key metrics―tree cover, air pollution estimates, heat island effects, traffic volumes, and social vulnerability index― help to reveal where in the city people face particular challenges as we work towards a healthier Chicago.

Uncover the natural of Chicago’s environment and explore data, maps, and resources at ChiChiVes.com.  View the project’s completely open-source code, data, and development on GitHub.
