CityOfBoston Official An official website of the City of Boston

This is the website for the City of Boston’s new Planning Department, which launched on July 1. The staff and many responsibilities of the Boston Planning & Development Agency have moved to the Planning Department of the City of Boston including planning & zoning, urban design, development review, and real estate divisions. Please excuse any misalignment you may see on our site as we transition to the City. Learn more

This Economic Indicators Dashboard is a joint project of the Research Division and the GIS Lab. It provides monthly data updates to track Boston’s economy in five areas: Labor Market, Mobility, Economic Activity, Real Estate Market, and Real Estate Development. In addition to citywide data for each of these five topic areas, the dashboard provides profiles of each of Boston’s four commercial hubs: Fenway/Longwood, Back Bay, Downtown, and South Boston Waterfront.
