What is Townfolio?

Townfolio provides city data as a service. Originally focusing on economic development software. Townfolio has evolved into a platform to: automate the community profile, provide city benchmarks and comparisons, along with completely customizable dashboards for city planning or city performance. The company provides a widget to add city dashboards to government and economic development websites, and export features to automate reporting. While main interest has come from city and county governments, economic development agencies, NGOs and other public sector clients are using Townfolio.

Where does the data come from?

Townfolio strives for the most current and credible data sources. Our database features 100’s of sources and over 5 million data points on 38,000 municipalities. The data is mainly sourced from open providers ranging from census to inside city hall.

The platform is used for research and decision making by cities (for reporting and performance) by economic developers, city planners and others.
