About Circle City Data

Circle City Data aims to be the data hub for Indianapolis. Our first and flagship product, Chart Book, is a practical tool for exploring data about Indianapolis in one place. Chart Book brings together a wide range of public datasets, covering topics such as jobs, housing, weather, and city budgets, and presents them in a way that is easy to understand and quick to use.

Accessing this information directly from the source often requires visiting multiple websites, downloading files, and interpreting the data independently. Circle City Data reduces that friction by aggregating trusted public data and presenting it through clear, pre-built visualizations.

The goal is not to overwhelm users with complexity, but to make data approachable. Whether you are a resident, analyst, student, journalist, or policymaker, the site is designed to help users explore trends and patterns with minimal effort.

Why Circle City Data

• Easy-to-use datasets that do not require technical setup

• A growing variety of datasets across economic, civic, and environmental topics
• Ongoing expansion, with new data sources added over time

Circle City Data is built to support better understanding, stronger questions, and more informed decisions, starting with clearer access to the data that describes the city we live in.
