City Council Election 2013

This dataset contains the original final vote tally from 2013 Cambridge City Council election. The City Council comprises nine members and is the Cambridge's lawmaking body. Proportional Representation (PR) is the method by which voters in Cambridge elect members of the City Council and School Committee. In a PR election you may vote for as many of the candidates listed on the ballot as you wish, but you must rank the candidates in order of preference. This ensures minority representation with majority control. The vote count begins with the sorting of ballots by the first preference shown on each valid ballot. That is the NUMBER 1 vote on each ballot. This is generally known as the "First Count". Any candidates who reach the necessary quota with Number 1 votes are declared elected. During the 2013 City Council Election, the quota was 1,775 votes. Any extra ballots they receive beyond the quota are redistributed to the candidates marked next in preference (the number 2 preference) on those excess ballots. The count continues with the elimination of those candidates receiving fewer than fifty votes in the first count. Their ballots are redistributed to the other candidates according to the next preference marked. After each distribution, the candidate now having the lowest number of votes is eliminated and his/her ballots redistributed to the next indicated preference (number 2,3,4 etc.) As candidates reach the quota through the addition of redistributed ballots to their totals, they are declared elected and no further ballots are transferred to them. This process continues until all candidates have been eliminated except the nine winners for City Council.

Certified Sustainable Buildings

This dataset combines information from four sustainable building programs to show the extent and location of sustainable buildings in Cambridge. For inclusion in this data set, a building must meet at least one of the following criteria: - Received LEED certification under a LEED system that required the whole building to meet sustainability standards; - Received Passive House certification from the Passive House Institute (PHI) or Phius; - Received certification from Enterprise Green Communities; or - Received Energy Star certification with the most recent certification in 2016 or after. Some buildings meet two or more of these criteria. Information provided about the applicable sustainable building programs for qualifying buildings includes certification levels, certification types, ratings, or scores where available. In this dataset, we use Cambridge GIS Building IDs as unique identifiers for certified sustainable buildings. Buildings IDs refer to one physical structure, even if there are multiple street addresses associated with that structure.
Cambridge Vaccine Demographics by Week 3/18/2021-3/29/2023 (Historical)

This open dataset shows data on Cambridge residents who have received a COVID-19 vaccine at any location (e.g., mass vaccination site, pharmacy, doctor's office). These data come from the Massachusetts Department of Public Health's weekly report on vaccine doses administered by municipality. The report is released on Thursdays. This open dataset includes data going back several weeks and complements another open dataset called "Cambridge Vaccine Demographics," which shows data for the latest week (https://data.cambridgema.gov/Public-Health/Cambridge-Vaccination-Demographics/66td-u88k) The Moderna and Pfizer vaccines require two doses administered at least 28 days apart in order to be fully vaccinated. The J&J (Janssen) vaccine requires a single dose in order to be fully vaccinated. The category "Residents Who Received at Least One Dose" reflects the total number of individuals in the fully and partially vaccinated categories. That is, this category comprises individuals who have received one or both doses of the Moderna/Pfizer vaccine or have received the single dose J&J (Janssen) vaccine. The category "Fully Vaccinated Residents" comprises individuals who have received both doses of the Moderna/ Pfizer vaccine or the single-dose J&J vaccine. The category "Partially Vaccinated Residents" comprises individuals who have received only the first dose of the Moderna/Pfizer vaccine. Source: Weekly COVID-19 Municipality Vaccination Report. Massachusetts releases updated data each Thursday at 5 p.m.

Cambridge Homeless Point-in-Time Count data: 2012-present

This dataset includes Point-in-Time (PIT) data collected in Cambridge between 2012 and 2026. The PIT count is a count of sheltered and unsheltered homeless persons on a single night in January. The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) requires that communities receiving funding through the Continuum of Care (CoC) Program conduct an annual count of homeless persons on a single night in the last 10 days of January, and these data contribute to national estimates of homelessness reported in the Annual Homeless Assessment Report to the U.S. Congress. This dataset is comprised of data submitted to, and stored in, HUD’s Homelessness Data Exchange (HDX). This dataset includes basic counts and demographic information of persons experiencing homelessness on each PIT date from 2012-2025. The dataset contains three rows for each year, including one row for each housing type: Emergency Shelter, Transitional Housing, or Unsheltered. The dataset also includes housing inventory counts of the number of shelter and transitional housing units available on each of the PIT count dates. Information about persons staying in emergency shelters and transitional housing units is exported from the Homeless Management Information System (HMIS), which is the primary database for recording client-level service records. Information about persons in unsheltered situations is compiled by first conducting an overnight street count of persons observed sleeping outdoors on the PIT night to establish the total number of unsheltered persons. Demographic information for unsheltered persons is then extrapolated by utilizing assessment data collected by street outreach workers during the 7 days following the PIT count. Between the PIT count in January 2025 and the one in January 2026, HUD ended the requirement to collect gender information. While the Cambridge CoC continues to require gender information, that information is no longer available for state-run EA family shelters or the Transition House programs.
Cambridge Community Wide Greenhouse Gas Inventory 2012

This dataset contains an inventory of Cambridge's estimated community-wide greenhouse gas emissions for the year 2012. The data was created by DNV-GL, MAPC and the Environmental & Transportation division of the Community Development Department. It was created to establish a baseline for total emissions community wide per the City’s commitment to the Global Covenant of Mayors. It provides a baseline for the City to set reduction goals and track progress towards those goals over time.
Cambridge Business Diversity Directory

The Cambridge Business Diversity Directory is a tool connecting local businesses owned by historically excluded proprietors to customers. The Directory aims to elevate businesses owned by women, people of color, veterans, people with disabilities, members of the LGBTQ+ community, and individuals of Portuguese descent. The Directory serves as a marketing and networking tool to connect these businesses with consumers, companies, and other institutions. Those listed in this directory range in longevity, from businesses and entities that recently opened in Cambridge to legacy businesses and entities that have been in operation over 50 years. Businesses and entities listed in this edition have elected to be listed as self-identifying members of a historically excluded group. Though the Cambridge Business Diversity Directory is updated regularly, it is not a comprehensive representation of the many diverse businesses and entities operating in the city.
Cambridge Building Energy Use Disclosure Ordinance (BEUDO) Data 2015-2024

This dataset contains compliance status and energy and water use data gathered under the Building Energy Use Disclosure Ordinance (BEUDO) program. Property details, energy use and water use data are submitted by property owners or managers whose properties are subject to BEUDO through an online tool called ENERGY STAR Portfolio Manager. Parcel level property information is obtained from the City of Cambridge Property Database. Energy and water use information submitted by property owners and managers is shown beginning in 2015. Emission Factors are values used to assign Greenhouse Gas Emissions to each energy use type. Those listed and applied in this data set are pulled from Energy Star Portfolio Manager. Properties subject to BEUDO reporting include: - nonresidential properties 25,000 square feet or more, - residential properties with 50 or more units and - municipal properties 10,000 square feet or more. Reports may include data on one or more buildings. The specific building IDs included (from the Cambridge GIS Building Footprints layer) are listed in the Buildings Included column. The report level is the most detailed level of energy use available - if multiple buildings are included in a report, we do not have energy use on the individual buildings, only the group. Building IDs and what they refer to have changed over time, even for buildings that did not change. To ensure you are using only comparable data when comparing reports over time, you should only make direct comparisons for reports with the same Reporting ID. Properties with no energy data included are those that were identified as being subject to BEUDO for the given Data Year, but which did not submit a report. Note that the City of Cambridge makes all efforts to acquire accurate data from BEUDO properties. The data may still contain errors or omissions.
