Data Sets

2012 Code for Oakland Hackathon DATA Resources.

This year things are much simpler- and much better for you data junkies out there. We have just two primary places for all the data we know of:

The new Socrata based Alameda County Data Sharing platform: http://data.acgov.org

&

OpenOakland’s new data catalog built on CKAN: http://data.openoakland.org

Both are heavily in beta but both have a huge trove of powerful (and new) data to work with!
