Community Insights
Community Insights includes over 400 demographic and socioeconomic metrics from our People & Vulnerabilities Foundation. We've standardized, transformed, and aggregated key Census data to make it easier for you to work with them in your assessments.
The Community Insights schema and layers in Analyst provide a granular view of community and household characteristics to better understand the area's demographics and socioeconomic characteristics. Use these details to contextualize your primary assessment with community information and social vulnerability metrics.
Community Insights Layers
When you need further insights about the surrounding community not available in the Location Insights, these layers include a curated set of Census data at supported geographies.
These layers reflect the metrics included in the Community Insights schema, which you can review online or export directly from Analyst
You can work with Community Insights Layers in several ways:
Core Insight – As a Core Insight, your Analyst organization already has default Community Insights layers included in it. You can add these layers to any project. These default options are named Community Insights - <census unit>. You can't rename these default layers.
A specified set of locations – You can run a location analysis on any point or line layer in Analyst, which can be created in several ways. In all scenarios, you'll receive layers named:
Community Insights - census unit for layer name – for points or lines.
Community Insights - buffered distance for layer name – for buffers.
Unlike the default layers, you can change their names. You can view the layer information to verify when the analysis was run. These details can be helpful if you need to re-run an analysis and need to differentiate the layers.
