IMPACT

InstaData integrates data from multiple systems and visualizes it all on one page in multiple formats (maps, charts, and tables) while also enabling cross-system search (address, business name, business license number, etc).

City Economic Development agencies (EDAs) commonly rely on a business license database, a real estate valuation and transaction database for their core operations, logging into each separate database with separated workflows.

In the example on the left, we’ve taken LA City Health & Restaurant code violations and integrated that data set with LA County Assessor property tax roll data to mimic these data sets to show the value of combining and integrating data from both systems into a single system and enabling data search and visualization tools.

InstaData enables the user to visualize all of the health violations on a map, click on a particular business and see relevant property valuation information and formulate the valuation over time in a chart.

Impact to the Economic Development Director and their team:

1) Data Insights:

  • understand the scale of their health code violation problem in a particular geographic region (ex: a City Council district) and strategize a macro-play this problem with the most efficient and least time consuming solution.

2) Operational Solutions:

  • Decide the best location with the highest probability of workshop attendance to locate a joint training with LA County’s Public Health department and the City to train LA restaurants on compliance with the County’s health code.

3) Public Policy Solutions:

  • Decipher what questions to ask of the macro problem that relate to the micro problems

  • LA City now knows which health code violations are most common and can look into whether LA County needs to change the rules around those specific health codes through an ordinance change, thus structurally solving this problem in the long term.
