The researchers at Case Western Reserve University's Mandel School of Applied Sciences Center on Urban Poverty and Social Change have a critical mission: understanding the root causes of poverty in northeastern Ohio. The group draws on statistics to unearth links and explain issues to policy makers and to not-for-profit groups trying to ameliorate poverty's effects. For the past 14 years, the Center has relied on SAS to help explore those connections. Now, with SAS' help, the Center is supplementing the amount of information available to the community and researchers, including adding enhanced mapping capabilities and a real-time element to the data.
