What Social Explorer is

Social Explorer is a demographic mapping and spatial analytics platform for exploring location-based data and creating reports. Interactive maps support customization, filters, area comparisons, and radius or drive-time analysis. A built-in indicator library covers demography, the economy, elections, health, education, and crime. Users can create reports for selected areas and export data to Excel, CSV, SAS, or SPSS. The platform is available through a web app and API. Its DataOps offering combines first-party data, Social Explorer datasets, and information gathered through custom web scrapers; it also provides AI-powered pipeline automation, real-time monitoring, and integrations with cloud data warehouses and BI platforms. Social Explorer says its security program is committed to the SOC 2 framework and describes TLS 1.2 encryption in transit, AES encryption at rest, third-party security testing, role-based access, and SSO integration. It also states that it complies with GDPR, including support for data deletion and privacy rights. The listed audiences include educators, students, researchers, businesses, government agencies, and nonprofits.
