Data and Internet Maps for Citizens and Community Coalitions

Learn about your community! On this site you can make GIS (geographic information system) maps, as well as some charts and graphs, of your community data at the county, subcounty (i.e., town/city), and Maine school district levels. No special training or software is needed to make the maps. The mapping tool allows you to select groupings of towns or school districts or counties, so you can see the data for your specific region of interest or service area.

Data available for mapping, and in some cases charting and graphing, on this site includes:

  • Census 2000 data at the county and subcounty levels, as well as by watershed, across the entire USA
  • REIS (Regional Economic Information System, employment and income data) 2003 data at the county level, across the entire USA
  • Maine Youth Drug & Alcohol Use Data (MYDAUS) 2006 at the county level
  • Maine Department of Education 2003 data selections at the school district level
  • Maine DHHS health data selections
  • More data will be added in the future, based on interest, availability, and funding.
  • For a full list of the data elements currently available via the mapping tool, please see "How to Use This Data" to the left. Data source links are in the FAQs section.
