Avencia, city Dept. of Records launch LandStat real estate data site
This isn’t quite the type of city government Web site you might expect in Philadelphia.
Aggregating millions of Philadelphia real estate transactions into a set of reporting and analysis tools, LandStat is the fully-functioning love child of the city’s Department of Records and Avencia, the wonkish Callowhill-based geographic analysis and software development firm.
Using its Kaleidocade Indicators Framework platform, the site was originally designed to help city staff visualize and interpret geographic patterns and trends in the city’s real estate market. The partnership is perhaps just one of the more impressive publicly accessible web-based applications from records department data.
