Returning Users of Open Data

Welcome to Sugar Land Insights! 

Sugar Land Insights is the City of Sugar Land’s first open data portal. Here, the City provides a variety of data from across the organization. The topic groups featured on the portal directly relate to the City’s eight strategic outcomes including a Safe & Secure Community, a Thriving & Vibrant Economy, and a Sustainable & Resilient Infrastructure. Contributing departments include Police, Fire-EMS, Public Works, Economic Development, and many more! 

The portal is also compatible with mobile devices, giving you the ability to search our datasets while on the go. Please note the use of a consistent open license - we want you to use our data with as few limitations as possible. If you learn or create something from our open data, please share it with us so we can showcase your work!
