Tools to Empower Communities and Support Investors

Public Democracy decided to act on building this understanding while the OZ market and program was still taking shape by committing significant resources to OZ communities. We are leveraging all three of our product lines and using our unique dataset to provide insight and analysis for LPs, funds, mayors, foundations, economic development officials, and other community and business leaders interested in OZs. These resources will (for the first time) provide investors, government, and communities with uniquely valuable and robust OZ market analysis that is contextualized nationwide and gives insight about local priorities on a census tract by census tract basis.

Our Insight-Connect-Engage tools allow us to create a detailed market and understand maps of designated zones while providing a voice and agency to local residents. The data, insight, and relationships from these tools allow businesses and funds to improve ROI and reduce risk by investing in ways that meet local needs.
