Open Data Minneapolis

About Open Data Minneapolis

Open Data Minneapolis is a public data portal operated by the City of Minneapolis, providing access to geographic information systems (GIS) and non-spatial datasets. Content is organized into categories including public safety, boundaries, planning, city assessing, regulatory services, snow emergency, business licensing, 311, and bike & scooter data. Datasets are shared free of charge under minimal licensing terms, specifically a Creative Commons 1.0 License.

The portal is built on ArcGIS Hub and is intended for private citizens and businesses seeking regularly requested public data. Related city resources linked from the portal include DataSource (for interactive visualizations and dashboards), Financial Data (for analyzing city finances), Election Data (for election results), and MapIT (for maps and apps).

The site notes that OpenDataMPLS is transitioning to a successor platform called MinneapolisData, which will include data dashboards and other city public data.
