Data App

The Data Engine is Live

We are currently tracking financial documents and performance metrics for New York State municipalities.

The application is hosted on a separate secure platform.

🚀 Launch the App (app.nybenchmark.org)

Current Features:

• Data for New York’s 61 Cities (besides NYC) imported from the Office of the State Comptroller
• Demographic Data imported from the US Census Office
• Combination metrics like per capita stats
• Charts to illustrate trends clearly

Coming Soon!

• Side-by-side city comparisons on any metric
• Metric-specific leaderboards (e.g., police spending per capita across all cities)
• Category drill-downs (break Public Safety into Police, Fire, etc.)
• Data for NYC imported from Checkbook NYC
• Data for New York’s counties, towns, villages, districts, and authorities
• Demographic context (poverty rates, crime rates) to explain spending differences
