The “Eco-Totem” counter (made by the Montreal-based company Eco-Counter) counts cyclists via in-ground loop detectors embedded under the pavement of Broadway near Kendall Square. The device displays on a monitor how many cyclists pass by, and data is transferred in 15 minute increments daily from the device to Cambridge's Open Data Portal. Funding for this project was generously provided by the Helen & William Mazer Foundation.

This dataset contains compliance status and energy and water use data gathered through the Building Energy Use Disclosure Ordinance (BEUDO). Property details, energy use and water use data are submitted by property owners or managers whose properties are subject to BEUDO through an online energy and water use benchmarking tool called ENERGY STAR Portfolio Manager. Parcel level property information is obtained from the City of Cambridge Property Database.

Energy and water use information submitted by property owners and managers is shown for properties that first began reporting in the 2015 BEUDO reporting cycle. These include nonresidential properties 50,000 square feet or more, residential properties with 50 or more units and municipal properties 10,000 square feet or more. In 2016, nonresidential properties 25,000 square feet or more began submitting reports for the first time and their data was disclosed beginning in 2017.

Please note that the “Property Type” column distinguishes reports based on whether they contain information about a single building or multiple buildings. If you are running summary statistics on this dataset, make sure to avoid duplicating data by filtering for “single” reports and “parent” reports. Child properties are buildings also included in parent reports. The “Buildings Included” column details what buildings are included in parent reports, with the first building ID indicating the parent property.

The Development Log provides a record of large-scale development projects occurring in the City of Cambridge. The Log, updated on a quarterly basis, is distributed to City departments and the public to keep them posted about development progress, from permitting through construction to completion. This map includes all projects listed in the current edition of the Log, whose status range from In Permitting to Complete in the current calendar year.

Since a project may include more than one use, data on each specific use found within a project is found in the associated Development Log Project Use table.

Block level data from the 1980 through 2010 decennial censuses recompiled to align with neighborhood boundaries. Include data for total population, total housing stock, and renter and owner-occupied housing.

The data set provides data on the predominant land use for all parcels in the City of Cambridge as of June 30, 2021.

The data behind the map is drawn from Assessing Department data and is supplemented with information taken from the Development Log and building permits issued by the Inspectional Services Department.

The data set provides data on the predominant land use for all parcels in the City of Cambridge as of July 1, 2019. The land use indicated reflects both existing uses and buildings currently under construction. The data behind the map is drawn from Assessing Department data and is supplemented with information taken from the Development Log and building permits issued by the Inspectional Services Department.

These median incomes were estimated in a two step process. Income related blockgroup data from the 2013-2017 American Community Survey was recompiled by the Cambridge Community Development Department to align with approximate neighborhood boundaries. Median values were then interpolated for each geographic area from the compiled distribution of incomes. All amounts reported in 2017 dollars.

The Development Log provides a record of large-scale development projects occurring in the City of Cambridge. The Log, updated on a quarterly basis, is distributed to City departments and the public to keep them posted about development progress, from permitting through construction to completion. This table includes data about each specific use found within each project. A separate Development Log table includes general project information, such as development status and statistics related to the entire project.

The Current Edition Table lists data from all developments found in the last published edition of the Log, whose status range from In Permitting to Complete in the then current calendar year.
