Ohio Opportunity Index - Dashboard Enhancements

Ohio Opportunity Index - Dashboard Enhancements


Ease of Use

  • Opportunity Index and Children’s Opportunity Index data are consolidated into one dashboard.

 

Digital Accessibility Improvements

  • A new ‘vertical’ layout accommodates those who use magnification and allows the page to scroll more like a general web page.
  • The color palette for the maps has more contrast to aid visibility and incorporates a “blue is better” color scale.
  • Via the three-line menu Hamburger style menu consisting of three horizontal lines, users may “turn off” the background street map to heighten color contrast on the maps.
  • Each map page includes a text table with all data available via the map visualization.
  • Keyboard users may tab through tabs, filters, buttons, and visualizations in a more natural order.

 

Greater Availability of Data

  • In addition to the Census Tract, the dashboard includes maps with data aggregated to the county and zip code level.
  • Via the three-line menu, users may choose to see data grouped in quantiles or quintiles, in addition to the default of septiles.
  • Via the Download Data page, users may filter census tract data and download only the specific data of interest.
