Turn complex datasets into easy-to-understand maps. Geographic Information Systems (GIS) technology creates state-of-the art illustrations that turn any location-related data into maps, charts and tables, creating powerful pictures to inform program and planning decisions or for public education and advocacy.

GIS enables data analysis across multiple geographic layers, highlighting the spatial distribution and patterns of your data (like mapping hospital locations and patient distribution) or benchmarking your data against other datasets (like mapping current stakeholder populations with similar demographics within your service area). Geographic units can range from a single address, block, census tract, or zip code to a municipality, county, region, state, or the entire country.

MCIC GIS-based Facts OnLine provides data and information for geographic areas you define. Use a map to identify standard or custom-defined boundaries within the 6-county metropolitan Chicago region and then apply a variety of information tools to produce reports and maps for your area of choice.
