Data is an important ingredient in our efforts to provide a well-rounded local report on what's going on in New York. Some of this information comes straight from the source and other information is compiled from reporters and staff on our Data Desk. When possible, we present the databases with the context of news or enterprise from the Democrat and Chronicle. Sometimes, however, utility databases such as restaurant inspections and real estate sales throughout New York are there as a resource and updated on a regular basis.
To suggest databases that you'd like to see in NYDatabases.com, send a note to our Data Desk. (infodesk@democratandchronicle.com)
