As journalists, we work with mountains of data to help us spot trends, identify problems in our community and to hold public officials accountable. We present that data here at NYDatabases.com so that you can explore the issues yourself.
Learn more about where you live, make informed decisions as a citizen, parent, or homeowner, and help identify stories that we should investigate. Send us your tips or ideas on what we should be investigating.
Data is an important ingredient in our efforts to provide a well-rounded local report on what's going on in New York. Some of this information comes straight from the source, and other information is compiled by our staff. When possible, we present the databases with the context of news or enterprise from lohud.com. Sometimes, however, utility databases such as restaurant inspections and real estate sales throughout New York are there as a resource and updated on a regular basis.
Contact us to suggest databases that you'd like to see in NYDatabases.com.
