Delmarva Index

The Mid-Shore Regional Council and the Tri-County Council for the Lower Eastern Shore of Maryland, with support through the Rural Maryland Prosperity Investment Fund (RMPIF), have partnered with the Eastern Shore Regional GIS Cooperative to develop tools and resources custom built for the residents, businesses, and community organizations on the Delmarva Peninsula. The Delmarva Index is an ongoing initiative and FY20 marks its third year of active development.

The long-term vision for the Delmarva Index is to serve as an online data repository and visualization tool that will function as a comprehensive data source for demographic, economic, geographic, and social data, pertaining to the Delmarva Peninsula. It will provide users free and easy access to a curated list of relevant datasets and custom visualizations. Partners believe that better access to and visualization of data will facilitate data driven decision making and improve communication.
