WHAT'S NEW

Advanced Data Filtering

The development team at KnowledgePlex announces a new and powerful data filtering tool now available at beta.dataplace.org. Users can filter across all locations in the U.S. using any of the 2,300+ indicators on DataPlace.

This new feature can help you better analyze data by narrowing down large lists of locations using very specific criteria. You can also combine multiple filters and indicators to narrow your results even more.
