Data Warehousing & Distribution

The Data Warehouse is a Hub with free maps and geospatial data downloads sponsored by CSA. Viewers can explore interactive web mapping applications that illustrate various demographic, legislative, municipal, educational and other geospatial data. From determining which school district and bus route takes your child to school, to locating the closest polling location in your precinct, the Data Warehouse helps counties and communities stay informed of pivotal locations.

Today, this experience is realized in large part through CSA's longstanding projects with the Oklahoma Tax Commission and Oklahoma Water Resources Board.
