Populus
Enabling local government councils to make sense of their data
The Challenge:
Populus is a data repository and sharing application. They find, analyse, map, and constantly update data sets from across multiple sources in Australia. They then make this accessible to both local government officials enabling them to understand, compare, monitor, and share it with others.
The challenge we faced was how to present all of this data in a way that was both accurate and easy to understand as it will be used by policy makers to make decisions that would impact thousands of people in their constituency. We needed to ensure that all presentation is both digestible, but also accurate so that anyone, regardless of data fluency, can utilise the platform to enhance their decision making.
