We looked at community assets such as Public Schools, Department of Labor Career Centers, Head Start Programs and Women, Infants and Children (WIC) clinics to create unique visualizations of New York’s communities.

Using KWIC Data to Present Powerful Presentations
Participants were shown how to easily incorporate KWIC graphs and data in their presentations. KWIC Views, a new feature, which creates handouts with the click of a button, were created to be used either as a stand-alone handout, or incorporated into Power Point.

KWIC View of Indicators
The first page of this KWIC View presents the indicator for a given year. A bar chart displays the rate for each county and a vertical line depicts the statewide mean. The map provides another visual comparison across counties with intervals for the maps based on the state mean and standard deviations from the mean.
The second page of this KWIC View shows change over time. The bar chart displays changes in the indicator between the base year and current year. A trend line is included showing change over time for New York State, New York City and Rest of State. Both pages include information about the significance of the indicator (Why it Matters) as well as the data source and data provider for the indicator.
To generate this KWIC View, generate an indicator report and simply click the KWIC View link as shown.
Custom KWIC View
This KWIC View allows you to print a presentation‐ready PDF of your custom query. The custom query lets you choose an indicator, year(s) and county(ies). This KWIC View displays your selections as a bar chart and data table along with supporting narrative documentation. If logged into your MyKWIC account, you can also create and display regional data in this KWIC View.
To generate this KWIC View, go to the Data Tools tab and select Custom Query. Follow the steps to create a custom query and simply click the KWIC View link as shown.
