Hi everyone, The Cook County Treasurer’s Office published my report on assessment appeals this morning! There are some great articles about it, but if you have the time, I recommend reading the report and browsing the data dashboard! Read it here: cookcountytreasurer.com/appealsreporta…

@Silber_Lining created this fabulous interactive data page detailing the impact of property tax assessment appeals on property tax bills across Cook County. Check it out: cookcountytreasurer.com/appealsreporta…

Some friends noticed that they can’t download U.S. Census TIGER/Line spatial files this morning. Hopefully this is temporary. In the meantime, I suggest using @nhgis by IPUMS to source census files. They have both the data and the spatial files you would probably need.

I updated my Chicago School Board Election map dashboard this morning! See the precinct-level voting breakdown for each district here: public.tableau.com/app/profile/ch…

@FarNWSider773 I’d have to do a bit of work to bring together the suburban Cook data with the Chicago Board of Elections data, which is doable, but at the moment I don’t think the precinct-level data for the suburbs has been published

@Silber_Lining This is really awesome! Thanks for creating this dashboard. Would you consider creating something similar for all of Cook County?

I got bored tonight and made an interactive Chicago election results dashboard to view precinct-level data on the school board elections, turnout, and the presidential race! Updated at ~7pm Take a look here if you have time: public.tableau.com/shared/MZRRBDQ…

Super cool that they put this sign right in front of the pedestrian signal

Is there a good reason to take out the “Red” in the team name? I feel like the inclusion of red made the name stand out

In Cook County, Low-income communities had higher rates of tax delinquency than high-income areas. The disparity was also racial – a home in a majority-Black census tract was much more likely to be late on taxes than in other areas. Read more here: cookcountytreasurer.com/pappasportalne…
