The South Jersey Community Data Access Program is a critical component of WRI’s mission to provide stakeholders with the information and analysis necessary to better understand and address policy issues impacting the region. Central outputs from the initiative are county and municipal infographics. These infographics are publically available on WRI’s website and capture recent data and trends in areas including education, income, land use, housing, crime, and poverty in user-friendly charts and graphs. WRI has developed 199 municipal infographics covering Atlantic, Burlington, Camden, Cape May, Cumberland, Gloucester, Salem and Ocean counties, as well as eight county-wide infographics.

The infographics are intended to provide valuable information for stakeholders and citizens across the region, many of whom serve communities and local governments with limited access to the data and resources necessary for planning and implementing development projects. WRI also publishes its infographics as a resource for undergraduate, master, and doctoral level students attempting to hone their research skills and increase their understanding of local and regional policy issues. Each infographic receives updates as new data is released. WRI plans to include other areas of public interest over the coming year, giving special attention to areas of information that most affect the people of South Jersey.
