I have been a data wonk for a long time because I believe in data’s power to positively affect public policy.  I have happily watched and supported the metamorphosis of Neighborhood Compass into DataWorks and have never seen another data science outfit produce a fraction of the new, data-based formulations and revelations coming out of DataWorks.  The creative combination and re-combination of data, geographies, and principles of equitable data application mean DataWorks is simultaneously pushing back numerous boundaries in data science and application.  They have become a treasure to Durham and a beacon for local data innovators throughout the entire country.
