This layer represents the boundaries of 2020 Census Blocks in Hamilton County.

Census blocks are:
The smallest geographic area for which the Bureau of the Census collects and tabulates decennial census data.
Statistical areas bounded by visible features such as roads, streams, and railroad tracks, and by nonvisible boundaries such as property lines, city, township, school district, county limits and short line-of-sight extensions of roads.
The building blocks for all geographic boundaries the Census Bureau tabulates data for, such as tracts, places, and American Indian Reservations.
Generally small in area. In a city, a census block looks like a city block bounded on all sides by streets. Census blocks in suburban and rural areas may be large, irregular, and bounded by a variety of features, such as roads, streams, and transmission lines. In remote areas, census blocks may encompass hundreds of square miles.
Numbered uniquely with a four-digit census block number ranging from 0000 to 9999 nesting within each census tract, which nest within state and county. The first digit of the census block number identifies the block group. Block numbers beginning with a zero (in Block Group 0) are associated with water-only areas.
Delineated by the U.S. Census Bureau once every ten years. An automated computer process looks for all visible and nonvisible features in our geographic database that should be a block boundary and creates a block each time those features create a polygon. The smallest level of geography you can get basic demographic data for, such as total population by age, sex, and race.
Census blocks are not:
Delineated based on population. In fact, many census blocks do not have any population.

Cincinnati SNA Boundary (2020)

The Cincinnati SNA (Statistical Neighborhood Approximations) Boundary layer shows Cincinnati neighborhoods modified to closely "fit" the US Census 2020 Data & 2016-2020 American Community Survey five-year estimates. These boundaries are useful in that they can be correlated to US Census population data. The boundaries are redrawn every ten years following the Census.

Note: The Cincinnati SNA Boundaries are NOT the same as the Cincinnati Community Council Neighborhood Boundaries.

This layer represents the boundaries of the 2020 Census Tracts in Hamilton County.

Census tracts are:
Small, relatively permanent statistical subdivisions of a county.
Uniquely numbered in each county with a numeric code.
About 4,000 inhabitants – Minimum Population – 1,200 – Maximum Population – 8,000.
Designed to be relatively permanent over time. Any changes are documented so data can be compared from decade to decade.

Fiscal Year 2024 Performance Agreements for City of Cincinnati departments and offices.

Fiscal Year 2023 Performance Agreements for City of Cincinnati departments and offices.

The Cincinnati Community Perceptions Survey was developed by the City's Office of Performance and Data Analytics and ETC Institute in the fall of 2021. This community engagement tool was designed to allow the City Administration to evaluate resident satisfaction with our services and measure that level of satisfaction against cities of similar size, location, and demographics. The survey design also allows the City to capture community priorities for investment in services over the next two years.

The survey was administered during the winter of 2021 by mail to a random sample of households across the city, and was available to complete by mail or online. The goal of 1,200 completed surveys was exceeded, with a total of 1,408 residents completing the survey. The overall residents for the sample of 1,408 households have a precision of at least +/-2.6% at the 95% level of confidence, and are demographically representative of our city's population.

This year's survey will set a baseline for Cincinnati to work from with the goal of better understanding where we are excelling in service delivery and where our local government could benefit from intentional improvement and resources.

Data Description: The National Fire Incident Reporting System (NFIRS) is a reporting standard that fire departments nationwide use to uniformly report on the full range of fire department activities. This dataset encompasses all fire incidents reported to NFIRS that were responded to by the Cincinnati Fire Department in the year 2021.

Data Creation: NFIRS was created in 1976 to address the United State’s fire problem and is jointly managed by the U.S Fire Administration (USFA) and the National Fire Information Council (NFIC). Over the life of the system, all 50 states, more than 40 major metropolitan areas, and more than 15,000 fire departments have participated in NFIRS. Fore more information please visit: https://www.usfa.fema.gov/data/nfirs/about/index.html

Data Created By: The source of this data is the Cincinnati Fire Department.

Refresh Frequency: This dataset is static and posted annually.

Data Dictionary: A data dictionary providing definitions of columns and attributes is available as an attachment to this dataset.

Processing: The City of Cincinnati is committed to providing the most granular and accurate data possible. In that pursuit the Office of Performance and Data Analytics facilitates standard processing to most raw data prior to publication. Processing includes but is not limited: address verification, geocoding, decoding attributes, and addition of administrative areas (i.e. Census, neighborhoods, police districts, etc.).

Data Usage: For directions on downloading and using open data please visit our How-to Guide: https://data.cincinnati-oh.gov/dataset/Open-Data-How-To-Guide/gdr9-g3ad

Disclaimer: In compliance with privacy laws, all Public Safety datasets are anonymized and appropriately redacted prior to publication on the City of Cincinnati’s Open Data Portal. This means that for all public safety datasets: (1) the last two digits of all addresses have been replaced with “XX,” and in cases where there is a single digit street address, the entire address number is replaced with "X"; and (2) Latitude and Longitude have been randomly skewed to represent values within the same block area (but not the exact location) of the incident.

Data Description: This dataset captures all Cincinnati Police Department Contact Carrds. This data includes time of incident, officer assignment, race/sex of stop subject, and outcome of the stop ("Action taken"). Individual contact cards may populate multiple data rows to account for multiple outcomes or multiple items of contraband: "interview number" is the unique identifier for every one (1) stop.

Data Creation: This data is created when CPD completes a pedestrian or traffic stop and logs the interview via Contact Cards. Contact Cards are a result of the Collaborative Agreement. Contact Cards are manually entered and may experience lags in data entry.

Data Created by: This data is created by the Cincinnati Police Department.

Refresh Frequency: This data is updated daily.
