The Town Gown reporting process derives from the 1991 Mayor's Committee on University-Community Relationships. This review takes two forms. Every year each school first submits a Town Gown Annual Report; this is then followed by a presentation to the Cambridge Planning Board. The data included here is taken from the annual reports and included in the presentations to the Planning Board

The data set provides data on the predominant land use for all parcels in the City of Cambridge as of June 30, 2023.

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, among other sources.

Foreclosure is the process through which lenders recover the amount owed on a defaulted mortgage by selling or taking ownership of the property securing the loan. This data set tracks housing foreclosures at three points during the process: filing of a petition to foreclose, scheduling of a foreclosure auction, and filing of a foreclosure deed.

The Cambridge Business Diversity Directory is a tool connecting local businesses owned by historically excluded proprietors to customers. The Directory aims to elevate businesses owned by women, people of color, veterans, people with disabilities, members of the LGBTQ+ community, and individuals of Portuguese descent. The Directory serves as a marketing and networking tool to connect these businesses with consumers, companies, and other institutions.

Those listed in this directory range in longevity, from businesses and entities that recently opened in Cambridge to legacy businesses and entities that have been in operation over 50 years. Businesses and entities listed in this edition have elected to be listed as self-identifying members of a historically excluded group. Though the Cambridge Business Diversity Directory is updated regularly, it is not a comprehensive representation of the many diverse businesses and entities operating in the city.
