Please tell us what we can do to make Data Midsouth the best civic data platform for you.
Vacant Land Details for Developers
(via United Housing) - It would be great to collect and report more details on each vacant lots that help developers determine readiness to build new housing. For example, flagging lot dimensions that are too small vs. the right size for housing according to building codes, flagging lots that already have utility hookups/sewer taps, and whether developers would need to clear the lot in terms of trees, debris, and remnants of built structures.
Filter: Church-owned Properties
A category of just church owned properties... I mean we can do it ourselves but having that readily available would be huge
Multifamily property with number of levels
Multifamily properties as a category and if they could be distinguished by Single story , two story, multiple Story and Highrise.
Unit counts (Assessor Data)
Unit count would be helpful for multifamily properties, you can see if "large homes" are single or multi-family based on land use, but it can be very difficult to determine the unit count (helpful for tax research, missing middle research).
Workforce data in Property Hub
include a descriptive field for places of employment, both commercial and industrial, indicating estimated employee counts. This would allow us to better communicate the number of employers and jobs within a neighborhood, ZIP code, or custom boundary, especially when considering the proportion of land devoted to those uses.
MPH Theme Request
Counts/percentages of renters vs. homeowners that we can see at the trend level like Census tract and zip code

Aggregate Assessment Value
When drawing a geographic boundary, it would be helpful to see Total Assessment Value in addition to Median.
