Data Help

AskD3

AskD3 is our community request system. You can submit data questions or requests and get connected to the right person to guide you to the answer.

Just AskD3!

Send us your questions or requests and we’ll connect you to someone on our team who can guide you to the answer.

If you’d like in-person data assistance, we offer monthly office hours at Co.act Detroit on Tuesdays and Thursdays 1:00-3:00 PM. Registration is requested.

AskD3 is made possible thanks to Co.act Detroit, the Ralph C. Wilson, Jr. Foundation, and the previous generous support from The Kresge Foundation.
