OpenDataPhilly is a portal that provides access to more than 300 data sets, applications, and APIs related to the Philadelphia region. Built by Azavea, a Philadelphia-based geospatial software firm, OpenDataPhilly is based on the idea that providing free and easy access to data information encourages better and more transparent government and a more engaged and knowledgeable citizenry.

OpenDataPhilly includes both municipal and non-municipal data and enables users to search for and locate data sets based on keyword and category searches. For each data set, application, or API, we’ve included accompanying information about the origins, update frequency, and other specifics of the data. The record for each data source also includes links for downloading the data or accessing the application or API.

Contribute

Up to this point, OpenDataPhilly has relied on pro bono support from single organizations (Azavea and Element 84); in the long run, we seek to grow the project’s community of contributors in order to improve its resilience and sustainability, while still maintaining its regional character. We invite you to explore further and start contributing:
