AskCHIS Neighborhood Edition
API change historyThe AskCHIS Neighborhood Edition (AskCHIS NE) API provides access to all of the estimates available in the AskCHIS NE dashboard (http://askchisne.ucla.edu). The API can be used for both web development and research and makes it easy for users to build custom queries and extract estimates. Health indicators in AskCHIS NE are created using a sophisticated modeling technique called Small Area Estimation (SAE). For more information on data provenance, please visit the help section in AskCHIS NE.
