Citizen Data

Provides data analytics for public opinion

Overview

Citizen Data gathers and analyzes large sets of public and survey data to produce reports and predictive models about public opinion and behavior in the United States. Its products help nonprofits, advocacy groups, political campaigns, and other public-interest organizations understand audiences and engage them effectively. Data comes from surveys, social media, and public records, and results are delivered as reports and actionable insights, with consulting support to interpret and apply findings. The company differentiates itself by acting as a transparent data marketplace for the public interest, combining diverse data sources to offer measurable, reliable insights rather than vague forecasts. Its goal is to help organizations bridge divides and unite Americans by informing strategies on issues like voter support, democracy attitudes, and the spread of disinformation.
