Federal data should still be available via resources like PolicyMap and Social Explorer. State and city level data should also still be available from local level government agencies.
In addition we have created a guide called Finding and Preserving Government Data Archive. This has links to data that has been rescued and preserved by different organizations outside of the government.
An online U.S. national data and mapping tool and analytics platform with multidisciplinary applications. It is used in research related to social sciences, urban studies, real estate and housing analysis, community and economic development, public administration, public health, policy and political science, education, business, economics, statistics, and geography, among others. Users can leverage thousands of U.S. data indicators in PolicyMap to perform demographic and socioeconomic analysis, from a neighborhood census block group in many cases, up to a national level, as well as create custom regions, for their research and studies.
City-level data is often available from open data portals that are created by and maintained by city government. Below are some examples from nearby cities. You can also search for other city portals on Google.
City government websites also may contain meeting minutes, regulations, city policies and additional resources that tell the life of the urban space.
