Housing Forecast app
app.communityscale.io is CommunityScale’s flagship digital product: a national, always-updated housing forecast dashboard covering US counties, places, and metro areas. Every housing forecast engagement includes access to the client’s app.communityscale.io page by default, and the platform updates annually as new ACS, HUD, and housing market data are released. The app delivers demographic and employment trends, household income forecasts, cost burden analysis, housing stock profiles, and production targets through interactive charts with sources and methodology.
Custom project dashboards
When a project needs more than the standard housing forecast — bespoke data layers, interactive zoning maps, storymap-style narratives, or specific parcel and tract visualizations — CommunityScale builds a custom dashboard. These are built on an open-source stack and delivered as editable, hand-off-friendly code the client can host and extend.
