This tool provides a quick benchmarking of a city's economy & key related conditions comparing the city to a set of peers. The benchmarking is based on Oxford Economics data, combined with a variety of additional geo spatial data sources (e.g., GHSL, disaster risk data, etc.) Outputs intended to be useful for early conversations with clients, and scoping possible programs. Note: the old version is outdated; an updated version is expected to be available in Fall 2025.
