Data Portals
Statistics Portal
“Data storytelling” is an exciting new field the ability to effectively communicate insights from a dataset using narratives and visualization. It’s about telling a compelling story using numbers — a way to convert simple text into context. Traditional data dashboards can be effective at showing when something changes, but they aren’t very good at explaining why something happened, or what that change might mean in the real world. The Statistics Portal is connected, in real-time, to ICAC databases, so when updates to the data are made, they will be instantly reflected in the Portal. Click here.
