Data Ideas

← Tell Us Your Ideas!

This forum page is for you to suggest data sets you wish were available, data you need for your work, for app development or research. Please post project ideas for the data also, and if you know of the data someone else has listed being available somewhere please post the link and also publish it to http://data.openoakland.org. We’re looking for data at the city and county level too!

What data do you want, need, have for publishing?

You've used all your votes and won't be able to post a new idea, but you can still search and comment on existing ideas.

There are two ways to get more votes:

  • When an admin closes an idea you've voted on, you'll get your votes back from that idea.
  • You can remove your votes from an open idea you support.
  • To see ideas you have already voted on, select the "My feedback" filter and select "My open ideas".

Enter your idea and we'll search to see if someone has already suggested it.

If a similar idea already exists, you can support and comment on it.

If it doesn't exist, you can post your idea so others can support it.

Enter your idea and we'll search to see if someone has already suggested it.

  1. Web-based mapping tool focused on vacant land in Oakland

    The Oakland Community Land Trust (OakCLT) is partnering with a group of volunteers on an initiative called CityFarmShare. In brief, the overarching goal of CityFarmShare is to make more land available for community gardening and urban agriculture in Oakland.

    A group out of NYC (596acres.org) has developed a property viewer specifically suited to this kind of work. The code is on GitHub, and has recently been adapted for use in New Orleans and Philadelphia. We’d love to stand up a version of this platform for CityFarmShare and OakCLT to help push our work forward in Oakland.

  2. Oakland Unified Staff Data

    Oakland Unified's HR department strives to find, keep and grow extraordinary adults who are committed to providing incomparable instruction, services and schools for Oakland’s children. However; without data to tell us who our successful employees are and where they are coming from, it is difficult to ensure we are providing our students with the most effective adults we can.

    OUSD is building systems and processes around data to help us to better answer strategic questions about our staff, but even before our larger data clean-up efforts are finished, there is data that we can use to learn more about our…

  3. Crime report data mapped to show common criminal routes and overall vectors

    Most criminals behave in habitual ways... commit the same categories of crime... the same way... often in the same areas, too. I propose mapping crimes (that can be linked to the same perpetrator) by date and time to show a probable route of travel and then an overall vector. Map enough of these routes and OPD could target these hot routes for increased patrols and more diligent enforcement of jaywalking, vandalism, noise and moving violations, etc. Using the vectors OPD could pinpoint areas where criminal organizations are basing their operations.. or where multiple perpetrators are living.
