I dig through public records for fun, then turn them into research worth reading.
No pitch, no product. Just real datasets, verified against their source, and visualized clearly. This is where I publish what I find, a practice in getting better at research and analysis, one dataset at a time.
The City That Built $2.05 Billion in Six Years
Rancho Cordova, CA quietly became one of the fastest-growing construction markets in Sacramento County. I filed a public records request for every permit since 2020, filtered out everything but real active construction, and mapped where the building is actually concentrated, all without exposing a single address.
Every finding follows the same three steps.
Request the records
I file public records requests straight to the source agency instead of scraping or buying secondhand data.
Verify every number
Every stat is checked against the raw dataset before it's published. If I can't source it, it doesn't go in.
Visualize it clearly
Built by hand: real charts, real geography, and I never expose an address.
