CDTech recognizes that community planning and economic development strategies require reliable information, both quantitative and qualitative, about the community, its residents, its markets and its assets. Frequently, community groups and residents lack access to the relevant information and sources. The private and public sectors also need more reliable information to make economic development decisions.

CDTech believes that access to relevant information and data can greatly contribute to equitable and healthy community economic development initiatives. As such, we strive to collect, analyze and distribute information relevant to the true economic landscape in South Los Angeles.
