What started as an effort to track kids in the community has turned into a massive system of information glued together by the mapping skills of UM-Flint staff and students.
Map Flint started in 2015 when local organizations teamed up with UM-Flint’s University Outreach and Geographic Information Systems Center to start compiling data that would offer a growing and comprehensive view of what’s happening in the city.
Through agreements the Genesee County Land Bank and Genesee County Health Department, among others, UM-Flint is able to compile data and make it accessible through interactive maps.
