COVID-19 Cumulative Cases by Date 12/8/2020

This dataset is no longer being updated as of 12/8/2020. It is being retained on the Open Data Portal for its potential historical interest. For the more recent version of this data (which is also now historical), please visit: https://data.cambridgema.gov/Public-Safety/COVID-19-Case-Count-by-Date/axxk-jvk8 The data represented in this graph are dynamic and may change over time. Since March 20, the Cambridge Public Health Department (CPHD) has provided data regarding COVID-19 case counts based on the date that the Massachusetts Public Health Department (MDPH) reported the case to CPHD (known as report date). Beginning March 31, 2020, CPHD began providing COVID-19 case counts based on the onset time -- the date of a positive diagnosis -- which is preferable for studying disease patterns over time. Both sets of data provide the same number of total cases. CPHD often receives onset time (positive COVID-19 diagnosis) after the report date. Thus, the graph displaying onset time is recommended as a representation of the case counts per day. Daily case counts reflect the total number of cases to date, including active and recovered individuals.
COVID-19 Counts by Age Cohort 5/11/2023

This dataset is no longer being updated as of 5/11/2023. It is being retained on the Open Data Portal for its potential historical interest. This dataset contains weekly totals of COVID-19 cases among Cambridge residents by age group. Of note: The graphs do not include COVID-19 cases among Cambridge residents living in skilled nursing or assisted living facilities. The case counts comprise confirmed cases and two types of probable cases: (1) people who receive a positive antigen test and (2) people who are a known contact of a confirmed case and have received a clinical diagnosis based on their symptoms. The case counts do not include antibody positive cases. Cases are assigned to a given week based on the date of symptom onset. If that information is not available, the date reflects the test date (if available), or the report date (when a laboratory reports results to the state health department). Dates on the line graphs reflect the start date of the week. For instance, June 7 represents the week of June 7-13. Counts for the most recent week are incomplete. Case counts for individual weeks going back in time may change as more information becomes available.
COVID-19 Community Cases 5/11/2023 (Historical)

This dataset is no longer being updated as of 5/11/2023. It is being retained on the Open Data Portal for its potential historical interest. COVID-19 cases for residents in the City of Cambridge community outside of long term care facilities, as reported by the Cambridge Public Health Department. This dataset summarizes cases by age cohort and gender. Cambridge Public Health Department (CPHD) data regarding case counts come directly from MDPH and their surveillance system (MAVEN). We use the language and terminology per the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) guidance, and recent guidance categorizes all confirmed or presumptive positive cases as positive. CPHD understands that case counts may be higher, due to a number of factors: (1) Testing capabilities have been increased by other area lab organizations and hospitals and not all of the test results are reported to MDPH or CPHD. (2) People may be asymptomatic (or have very mild symptoms) and do not realize that they may have COVID-19 and need to be tested. (3) Providers may be offering diagnoses based on symptoms and history (rather than testing) and telling patients that they are likely positive and should stay home and self-quarantine for 14 days. (e.g, Someone might call their provider with a few symptoms and indicate that they were with someone from Biogen. In this case, the doctor may assume positive for COVID-19 and ask the patient to self-isolate at home for two weeks). This is the process that the CPHD, and all local health departments, is following. Total positive cases include total deaths. Any count <5 will be suppressed for privacy reasons

COVID-19 Case Type Breakdown 5/11/2023 (Historical)

This dataset is no longer being updated as of 5/11/2023. It is being retained on the Open Data Portal for its potential historical interest. This table reports case classification and status data. The "test mode" rows show confirmed and probable case counts for all Cambridge residents who have tested positive for COVID-19 or have been clinically diagnosed with the disease to date. The numbers represented in these rows reflect individual people (cases), not tests performed. If someone is clinically diagnosed and later gets an antibody test, for example, they will be removed from the “clinical diagnosis” category and added to the “antibody positive” category. Case classification is based on guidance from the Massachusetts Department of Public Health and is as follows: Confirmed Case: A person with a positive viral (PCR) test for COVID-19. This test is also known as a molecular test. Probable Case: A person with a positive antigen test. This test is also known as a rapid test. A person who is a known contact of a confirmed case and has received a clinical diagnosis based on their symptoms. People in this category have not received a viral or antibody test. Whenever possible, lab results from a viral (PCR) test are used to confirm a clinical diagnosis, and if that is not feasible, antibody testing can be used. Suspect Case: A person with a positive antibody test. This test is also known as a serology test. The "case status" rows show current outcomes for all Cambridge residents who are classified as confirmed, probable, or suspect COVID-19 cases. Outcomes include: Recovered Case: The Cambridge Public Health Department determines if a Cambridge COVID-19 case has recovered based on the Center for Disease Control and Prevention’s criteria for ending home isolation: https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/hcp/disposition-in-home-patients.html. Staff from the Cambridge Public Health Department (CPHD) or the state’s Community Tracing Collaborative (CTC) follow up with all reported COVID-19 cases multiple times throughout their illness. It is through these conversations that CPHD or CTC staff determine when a Cambridge resident infected with COVID-19 has met the CDC criteria for ending isolation, which connotes recovery. While many people with mild COVID-19 illness will meet the CDC criteria for ending isolation (i.e., recovery) in under two weeks, people who survive severe illness might not meet the criteria for six weeks or more. Active Case: This category reflects Cambridge COVID-19 cases who are currently infected. Note: There may be a delay in the time between a person being released from isolation (recovered) and when their recovery is reported. Death: This category reflects total deaths among Cambridge COVID 19 cases. Unknown Outcome: This category reflects Cambridge COVID-19 cases who public health staff have been unable to reach by phone or letter, or who have stopped responding to follow up from public health staff.

Commercial District Customer Intercept Survey Responses - Updated

The Commercial District Assessment Customer Intercept survey collects data about a commercial district consumer characteristics. Understanding current consumer characteristics improves knowledge of how visitors and residents utilize the district, and how they would like the district to evolve in the future. Data is collected annually in one or more commercial districts by the Community Development Department. In 2017 the survey changed format from the previous customer intercept survey, based on recommendations from the City’s Retail Strategy Report. For past Customer Intercept Data please refer to the “Customer Intercept Survey Results” open data set.
Commercial District Customer Intercept Survey Responses - Historical

Every year, the City of Cambridge’s Economic Development Division conducts a customer intercept study at a different commercial district. The results of this study are provided in this dataset to facilitate year-over-year and square-by-square analysis. This data has been scrubbed of ZIP codes to prevent any respondents from being identified. The customer intercept survey is slightly altered each year for the specific district in consideration, so the exact wording of questions and the questions asked are not necessarily consistent from year to year. If a question was not asked in a given district’s survey, “[Question Not Asked In This District's Survey]” is listed as the value. A blank cell indicates that the respondent did not answer that question, although it was asked. In many questions, such as mode of transit, participants were asked to give one answer but often filled in more than one. On surveys after 2014, we captured all of their responses, rather than just the one. All of the final reports developed from this data are available here: http://www.cambridgema.gov/CDD/econdev/aboutcambridge

Citywide Bicycle Counts

This bicycle count data is collected as part of the City of Cambridge’s regular citywide bicycle counts. These counts are typically done on weekdays (Tuesday-Thursday) in September, annually between 2002-2006 and every other year since 2008, with an additional count in 2019 due to poor weather in 2018. See also [this web app with data visualization tools] and more background information on using and interpreting the data.
City Senior Center Interval Energy Data

5-minute interval electric data for the Cambridge Senior center located at 806 Massachusetts Avenue from April 2013 through July 2018. The dataset enables analysis of electricity usage patterns over a series of days, weeks, months and years; this can help identify opportunities to reduce energy use and demand and can be used as a starting point to correlate energy consumption changes with conservation measures. Electricity use is the amount of electricity that has been consumed over a certain period of time. Electricity demand is the maximum amount of electrical energy that is being consumed at a given time. Electricity use is measured in kilowatt hours (kWh). Electricity demand is measured in kilowatts (kW). Additionally, this dataset contains measurements for Power Factor and Reactive Power. Power Factor is the ratio of the real power that is flowing to the load and the apparent power that is supplied to the circuit. Reactive Power occurs in alternating current circuits when there is a phase difference between voltage and current. It is measured in kVAR for demand and kVARh for use.
City Council Roll Call Votes 2018-2019

The dataset contains vote results for all City Council agenda items in which a roll call vote was taken, starting in January of 2018. The Cambridge City Council uses two different voting methods: voice votes and roll call votes. During a voice vote, all those in favor of a motion verbally vote “yes” simultaneously, and then all those opposed vote “no” simultaneously. During a roll call vote, each Councilor votes “yes” or “no” in turn. Voice votes are more common and are not recorded in this dataset. The Council tends to rely on roll call votes for City Manager’s agenda items related to fiscal and budgetary topics (e.g., how much money to allocate to a department or program). Please read the limitations section of this metadata form to avoid misinterpretations of the data. To learn more about Council meeting operations, please refer to the Rules of the City Council: http://www.cambridgema.gov/~/media/Files/citycouncil/20162017rulesofthecitycouncil.ashx To learn more about the parliamentary voting procedures generally, please refer to Robert’s Rules of Order: http://www.rulesonline.com/rror-08.htm
