Every answer the DataWorks Commons assistant gives is produced by named, documented tools working over real, loaded data — never free recollection. This catalog is generated from the tool registry itself, so it always matches what is running.
Finds the datasets and indicators the DataWorks Commons holds for a topic, so answers are grounded in real, loaded data.
When a request is genuinely ambiguous, asks one short question back as clickable options plus a describe-your-own box, instead of guessing.
Fetches the actual values of an indicator for a place, over time when asked, and renders the trend chart.
Computes per-capita rates for one or more places and charts them side by side over time.
Ranks states, counties, cities, metros, ZIP codes, or tracts by an indicator, with per-capita rates and coverage honesty.
Compares a place to similar-sized (or nearby) peers on the metrics you name.
Builds a table of an indicator - raw values, computed rates, growth, or demographic breakdowns - across every place in an area.
Shades an indicator across the places inside an area - counties of a state, tracts of a city.
Plots two indicators against each other across an area's places to show how they move together.
Scores a city's census tracts by concentrated need - a composite of poverty, income, vacancy, and uninsured rates.
Shows how an indicator has moved over time for a single census tract.
Explains what an indicator measures and exactly where and when it has data, read from the data model - never guessed.
Lists the datasets loaded in the DataWorks Commons, with their sources and coverage.
Proposes the contextual indicators most relevant to a why-question; the system then fetches and charts them.
Reads a city's City+ page as data: the bright-spots / needs-attention / big-shifts triage, or one indicator's full card - peer table, neighborhood change, breakdown by group, and peers worth a call.
