“Place Score was developed to solve a real-world problem – to empower every person to influence the decisions impacting their every day.

Our vision is to create the world’s largest social research dataset regarding urban environments. In the process we are providing all levels of government and the private sector with nationally consistent place-based insights that reveal local values and performance, identify priorities for investment and track change over time. It is an end-to-end system that aims to make it easier for investors and managers to make decisions that will make our towns and cities better for the people they serve.”
