GIS Mapping

To meet the needs of our employers, families, and children, NEIECC knows the importance of strategically expanding or creating new programs to increase the number of quality early childhood seats available throughout Northeast Indiana. To that end, and with funding support from the Don Wood Foundation, NEIECC has teamed up with Thomas P. Miller and Associates to develop this GIS mapping tool to guide future early childhood program development. The map shows the locations of existing early childhood programs across the region, overlaid with data on housing, employment and wages, and household income levels. The data can be drilled down to the county and then census tract, to show a detailed analysis of housing permits, work-willing parents, industry participation and more.
