Welcome to MCIC’s Public Purpose Initiative Library

Data at your fingertips

Part of MCIC's Public Purpose Initiative, the PPI Library offers access to basic data sets, MCIC indices, maps, charts, interactive visualizations and a variety of other information resources. Use the library to learn more about the community you serve and gather information to support grant writing, proposals or to support neighborhood initiatives. We are constantly updating information and uploading the most current data available to provide you with the best resource possible.
