Description:
The Census Mapping program at the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) – U.S. Department of Education has just released MapED, a new online mapping platform developed by Blue Raster and partner, Sanametrix, to visualize education and census data across the country.The platform unites NCES and CENSUS datasets with GIS mapping capabilities. The general public can investigate education and demographic trends on local, regional, and national scales. The improved workflow makes it possible for anyone to discover, map, and analyze the data with ease, as users walk through selecting a program or topic area and explore and visualize the data on customizable maps. Initially, the platform contains school, district, and or state-level data from: •American Community Survey (ACS) •Common Core of Data (CCD) •Integrated Postsecondary Educational Data System (IPEDS) •National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) •the Private School Universe Survey (PSS) •More data and programs are planned in the future. MapED is developed using the ArcGIS API for JavaScript and ArcGIS Server and uses .NET web services to automate the addition of new data each year. Esri JavaScript templates and ArcGIS Online both support the development of story maps.
