CityCites™ is built for cities, consultants, and civic partners.

We're building the analytics layer for city decisions.

CityCites™ turns fragmented public data into clean metrics, scores, and narratives, so leaders can spend less time wrangling spreadsheets and more time making decisions.

Why CityCites™ exists

Cities are rich in data, but poor in time.

Local governments publish hundreds of pages of budgets, financial statements, and performance reports each year. The problem isn't access to data—it's that no one has the time to continuously structure, compare, and summarize it across peer cities.

CityCites™ ingests raw tables, budget PDFs, and census data, then normalizes metrics across key domains—social, economic, environmental, and fiscal. From there, we make it easy to benchmark a city against its peers, identify outliers, and communicate the story in plain language.

What we focus on
  • Clean, vetted metrics you can defend in a meeting.
  • Fast comparisons across cities, cohorts, and time.
  • AI summaries that stay grounded in real numbers.
  • Exports that plug into your existing workflows.
