This dataset has been DEPRECATED as of 12/8/2020. For the current version of this data, please refer to the new version, available here: https://data.cambridgema.gov/dataset/COVID-19-Cases-in-Cambridge-Daily-Snapshot/5dms-3pz8/data

COVID-19 cases in the City of Cambridge as reported by the Cambridge Public Health Department. This dataset summarizes cases by age cohort and gender.
Cambridge Public Health Department (CPHD) data regarding case counts come directly from MDPH and their surveillance system (MAVEN). We use the language and terminology per the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) guidance, and recent guidance categorizes all confirmed or presumptive positive cases as positive. CPHD understands that case counts may be higher, due to a number of factors:

(1) Testing capabilities have been increased by other area lab organizations and hospitals and not all of the test results are reported to MDPH or CPHD.

(2) People may be asymptomatic (or have very mild symptoms) and do not realize that they may have COVID-19 and need to be tested.

(3) Providers may be offering diagnoses based on symptoms and history (rather than testing) and telling patients that they are likely positive and should stay home and self-quarantine for 14 days. (e.g, Someone might call their provider with a few symptoms and indicate that they were with someone from Biogen. In this case, the doctor may assume positive for COVID-19 and ask the patient to self-isolate at home for two weeks).

This is the process that the CPHD, and all local health departments, is following.

Total positive cases include total deaths. Any count <5 will be suppressed for privacy reasons

This dataset contains the findings of sanitary inspections carried out by the City of Cambridge's Inspectional Services Department. Inspectors visit establishments at least once every six months for routine inspections. The dataset includes the results of inspections that resulted in sanitary violation citations as well as records of inspections that discovered no sanitary violations. If no code number list listed for a given row, then that inspection resulted in no citations.

List of crashes involving motor vehicles, bicycles and/or pedestrians reported in the City of Cambridge from January 2010 through June 2016. Please refer to the dataset "Police Department Crash Data - Updated" for more recent and comprehensive crash data. Please Note: addresses are approximate. Rows for years 2010-2013 were geocoded as part of the MIT Public Safety Data Challenge. Any Latitude/Longitude with a value of 0 indicates that the location was not found though their geocoding efforts. Please see attachment for more details.

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 layer contains the Parking Tickets issued since January 2014 and contains tickets that were issued by both the PCO's, the Parking Control Officers, and the Cambridge Police. It does not contain Ticket Numbers or Officer Badge Numbers at the instruction of management. Nor does it contain any vehicle data or plate numbers which could inadvertently compromise private data.

List of crime incidents featured in the Cambridge Police Department’s Annual Crime Reports and reported in the City of Cambridge since 2009. Includes more than 40 crime types. Certain crime types are excluded due to confidentiality and/or protection of privacy. Please Note: Addresses do not represent the actual location of the crime, but a near approximation within 100 block ranges. For reports published by the Cambridge Police Department’s Crime Analysis Unit, visit http://www.cambridgema.gov/cpd/Publications.aspx.

Best Data at the Time: All statistics, including yearly totals and weighted averages, are calculated using the best available data at the time. Occasionally, after our reports are published, factors determined during investigation will cause us to reclassify a crime to a higher or lower category, and thus you may see slight discrepancies between current and past reports. In all cases, the more recent data is the more correct data.

This dataset will be periodically revised to ensure compliance with all local, state and federal privacy rights and legal requirements.

This is the Fiscal Year 2015 Tax dataset. The data is current as of January 1, 2014.

List of crashes involving motor vehicles, bicycles and/or pedestrians reported in the City of Cambridge since 2015.

Any data or text that may identify specific persons or companies has been omitted. Please see attached MassTRAC documentation for additional explanation about crash reporting data elements.

Note: crashes involving pedestrians are indicated in the “P1 Non Motorist Desc” and “P2 Mon Motorist Desc” columns. When using Socrata's built in visualization tools to map crashes, please use the geocoded "Location" column. The column "May involve cyclist" specifies whether a given incident may involve a bicycle operator.
