The NY Census Count Map brings together data from a number of sources into a single tool to help organizations and individuals count everyone in New York. The application is currently in active development and is temporarily deployed at this link: https://stuartlynn.github.io/NYCCensusCountMap
The app has been built as a stand alone single page React app. To spin the app up locally for development follow these steps:
- Clone this repo
git clone https://github.com/stuartlynn/NYCCensusCountMap.git
- Move in to the repo folder and install dependencies:
cd NYCCensusCountMap
yarn
or if you like npm better you can do
cd NYCCensusCountMap
npm i
then run the application
yarn start
or
npm start
this should open up a browser window running the app on port 3000. If you navigate to http://localhost:3000 you should see the app running.
There are multiple different ways you can contribute to the project.
- Use the map and get involved in the census count! This is by far the most important
- If you find something that doesn't work as you expect it to, open an issue and tell us about it
- If you want to help out with code or data, take a look at our contribution guide.
