PHILADELPHIA, PA — Change is here. Philadelphia has introduced Philly Stat 360, a bold and groundbreaking digital tool aimed at revolutionizing city government transparency and accountability. Launching earlier this month, this state-of-the-art website is no empty political gesture—it’s Mayor Cherelle Parker’s answer to a widespread demand for real-time access to the facts driving the city’s progress.
Philly Stat 360 isn’t just about numbers on a screen. It’s a call to action. With over 30 metrics tracking everything from public safety statistics to how many trees have been planted, this interactive dashboard turns data into a conversation between city officials and residents. It’s designed to make government tangible—something you can “see, touch, and feel,” as Mayor Parker so often underscores.
A hallmark of Parker’s administration, Philly Stat 360 gives everyday people a front-row seat to City Hall. Want to know how Philadelphia is tackling crime? Click the “Safer” category. Curious about efforts to combat climate change? Click “Greener.” Each metric dives deep, explaining how the information is collected, why it’s important, and even offering historical comparisons to track progress over time. This isn’t just a window into government activity—it’s a magnifying glass.
“Philly Stat 360 is not only a tool for measuring progress but also for identifying areas where we need to invest more resources,” said Mayor Parker during the launch. “I believe in a city government that our citizens can see, touch, and feel with visible actions that help people at the neighborhood level, and this is a key link in creating that.”
Backing this revolutionary tool is a collaboration between the Mayor’s Office of Philly Stat 360, the Office of Innovation and Technology led by Chief Information Officer Melissa Scott, and the Office of Integrated Data for Evidence and Action (IDEA). Together, they’ve built a portal that simplifies the complexities of government operations for the average Philadelphian.
Kristin Bray, Chief Counsel to Mayor Parker and Director of Philly Stat 360, summed it up perfectly, saying, “Philly Stat 360 is a manifestation of that vision—an accessible and interactive tool that empowers residents, enhances transparency, and makes government operations easier to understand.”
Each of Philly Stat’s five categories—Safer, Cleaner, Greener, Economic Opportunity, and Core Services—offers insight into significant areas of city functioning. These analytics go beyond sterile statistics. They reflect how Philadelphia is handling critical challenges like crime, neighborhood revitalization, and employment growth. They invite accountability not in speeches but in tangible, visible outcomes.
Importantly, the website remains a living project. Expect more metrics and features in the coming months to fully capture the dynamic nature of Philadelphia’s evolution. For government critics, spectators, and the simply curious, Philly Stat 360 is Philadelphia’s bold statement for the future. It’s a tool for progress, a watchdog for accountability, and a tangible sign that the city isn’t just talking about change—it’s delivering it.
The launch of Philly Stat 360 signals a new era where accessible data meets actionable results. With the nation’s eyes constantly on Philadelphia’s historic significance, it’s clear the city is ready to be just as celebrated for its forward-thinking government as for its storied past. If you want to see government work in real-time, Philly Stat 360 is where your attention should be.
