  Administrative data sources.

  School-related data, such as data from Great Schools, the Institute of Education Sciences, or the National Center for Education Statistics.

  National databases, such as the U.S. Census Bureau’s data on Group Quarters, Department of Treasury’s Community Development Financial Institution’s Information Mapping System, the EPA’s Environmental Justice Screening and Mapping Tool, the General Services Administration’s Data website, and HUD’s own resources.

  National Neighborhood Indicators Partnership (NNIP) national data set of small area data.

  Land use and zoning information, including: zoning data and maps; residential and commercial building permit data; city, county and regional planning offices and websites.
