The U.S. Census Bureau launched a new data explorer tool called My Community Explorer (MCE) on Monday of this week. The MCE promises to map demographic and socioeconomic data that “measure inequality and can help inform data-based solutions” down to the community level, according to a U.S. Census Bureau press release.

The MCE was created as directed by the President's Executive Order 13985 on Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Accessibility in the Federal Workforce, according to the press release.

Hat tip to Alexandra Kelley for sharing the news of the new MCE and for providing additional insight into the creation and goals of the new tool in an article for Nextgov.
