Welcome to your community's mapping platform.
Ginkgo is a map-based cloud platform that centralizes the tools and information sources that help you engage with your community and improve the neighborhood together.
Here's a shortlist of some tools that we think you'll find helpful in your Gingko account:
Ginkgo is built on today's best online mapping technology. Whether you need to geolocate your community's business directory to show the precise location of storefronts, or establish an accurate inventory of assets to keep track of public space conditions, Ginkgo is your community's platform and partner for accurate mapping services. For a complete overview of the datasets you can map in your Ginkgo account, check out the Database Overview here.
Ginkgo makes complex geospatial analysis easy for anyone to work with — No need to be a GIS expert. Whether you're looking for data and information about a special district, a single block, or a neighborhood-size area, the "Area" feature will help you filter out information on the map so you can focus on a specific area of interest. This geospatial analysis feature is tied to all of your datasets in Ginkgo, as well as a selection of useful third-party datasets and open datasets.
For example, here are some workflows that Areas will help you breeze through:
-
Look up your business records for a specific street corridor and export the email addresses and survey links for an email campaign.
-
Measure property level information for parcels of land that might form a special improvement district for your community, and test different assessment scenarios with property owners.
-
Analyze a group of public spaces to look at hotspots for specific issues within your community and help everyone identify where resources are needed most for placemaking initiatives, sustainability goals or general quality of life improvements.

We've given you a leg up on accessing data about your community by connecting Ginkgo to useful third-party open datasets. You can use you account to access these through the map in order to look up a range of datasets, such as property level information, land use policy details, demographic insight, and governmental administrative boundaries.
