For citizens
Understand what is happening in your country, city or neighbourhood. Atlas explains data in plain language, with caveats and links to original sources.
About Humaps
Public data should be possible to understand.
Humaps gives people one place to research authoritative public data through conversation, maps and statistical tools — without hiding where an answer came from or how it was produced.

Nothing important disappears between the original source and the final answer.

For professionals
Policymakers, journalists and researchers get reproducible analysis: methods, parameters, retrieval times and assumptions accompany each artifact.
The operating principle
How an answer becomes defensible
- 1Ask a questionUse plain English and name any geography you need, from the whole world to a local neighbourhood.
- 2Atlas discovers and combines sourcesAtlas finds the most authoritative sources for the topic and geography, then retrieves their data live.
- 3Statistical tools, not invented numbersTrends, regressions and projections are computed with statistical libraries. Atlas must not fabricate numbers.
- 4Sourced outputEvery map, chart or test identifies its publisher, dataset ID, retrieval time and license, with a link to the original source.
Privacy
- No personal data in analyses. Humaps analyzes aggregated, publicly published data. Accounts and optional briefings store only the information needed to provide those services, such as an email address.
- No advertising tracking. No third-party analytics, profiling cookies or advertising identifiers. Aggregate product analytics uses an opaque first-party session ID.
- Publisher disclosure controls. Suppressed values remain empty in our visualizations; Atlas does not infer them.
- Source licenses. Every artifact identifies the publisher's license and attribution requirements.
What Humaps is not
- Not legal, medical, financial or policy advice.
- Not a substitute for subject-matter review.
- Not a prediction — projections carry uncertainty and assumptions.
- Not an enforcement or automated decision-making instrument. Verify formal decisions against the original source.
- Statistical association does not imply causation. Correlations must be interpreted with their stated caveats.
