GIS and the 2020 Census
This book provides the most recent GIS methodologies and technological tools to support census workers' needs during all the stages of a census.
Social Science
As human activity increasingly dominates Earth, social science remains critical.
New social science collaborative
ArcGIS has much to offer to social scientists employing qualitative and mixed-method perspectives in their work. Our new internal team of social science experts is developing many resources to showcase the collaborative power and utility of ArcGIS for both quantitative and qualitative social science research. This includes resources for data capture, coding, and analysis workflows; the visualization, dissemination, and perception of data; and the concepts, behaviors, and values that can be used to address long-standing issues of social and environmental concern.
Racial equity initiative
Open data, maps, training solution templates, and stories reveal patterns of inequality and help drive changes toward racial justice.
COVID-19 and the scientific community
A global information system has emerged to empower the science community to better understand and model pandemics and inform public health decision making.
All in for sustainable development
Explore stories of how ArcGIS can be used to support the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) initiatives.

Mapping Black California
Mapping Black California is a comprehensive resource that equips the state’s population with reliable data, maps, and dashboards to identify and amplify local systemic inequities and spur policy changes.
Maps for data-driven public policy
Policy maps clearly show where there are opportunities to inform policy makers and concerned citizens. The new Esri Maps for Public Policy site is dedicated to raising the level of spatial and data literacy used in public policy. We invite you to explore curated content, training, best practices, and datasets that can provide a baseline for your research, analysis, and policy recommendations.
Tackling homelessness
Homelessness is a complex issue. To properly address the root causes, organizations must better understand the impacted communities and the extent of the problem. Many organizations use ArcGIS to identify at-risk communities, count the number of individuals affected by homelessness, establish strategic partnerships, share resources, and conduct targeted intervention and outreach.
Esri and Harvard Data Science Initiative
Esri's spatial statistics team is pleased to be working on several projects with Dr. Francesca Dominici and other scientists in the Harvard Data Science Initiative. Recent efforts resulted in a publication in the world's most cited scientific journal, Nature.
