Presentations

Data Driven Detroit plays an active role in the community and is committed to making data available that will benefit neighborhoods and community groups. We believe that through the sharing of data, we can assist community leaders in making well-informed decisions. In an effort to influence positive change through the use of data, D3 presents information at community events and forums to discuss the meaning behind the numbers and analyze the significance of the data. Below is a list of presentations the D3 staff have made.
