Now everyone can create a Personal Place

Published on Mar. 9, 2017 by Steven Vance


After Curbed Chicago told of its readers about our redesigned Community Data Explorer, and that you could use our Draw a Personal Place tool to get demographic info from the Census for anywhere in Chicagoland, we were blown away by all the traffic from new visitors.

Anyone can open a free Neighbor account and starting today anyone can draw and save a Personal Place. Oh, it works on mobile now, too.

Drawing and saving Personal Places for later use was a feature we previously reserved exclusively for our Pro members. Want to draw more than one Personal Place, or upload an existing map? Upgrade today.
