Community Commons: interactive mapping, networking, and learning utility for the healthy, sustainable, and livable communities’ movement

Through Community Commons, an interactive mapping, networking, and learning utility for the broad-based healthy, sustainable, and livable communities’ movement to revitalize our great nation, community by community. You can find allies, see what's working, get data and make a map.

Registered users have free access to:
  • Over 7,000 GIS data layers at state, county, zip code, block group, tract, and point-levels.
  • Contextualized mapping, visualization, analytic, impact and communication tools and apps.
  • Searchable profiles of hundreds of place-based community initiatives (multi-sector collaboratives) working towards healthy/sustainable/livable/equitable communities - funded by government and private philanthropy - complete with text & video narratives on "what's working."
  • Peer learning forums in the "interactive commons" with colleagues exploring similar interests and challenges - hosted by leading national Technical Assistance providers.
