Data User Personas
MORPC’s Data & Mapping team created seven user personas that represent real groups of data users in Central Ohio. We know from our Central Ohio data user research that different users use data in different ways to get the answers they need. These personas serve as guides in how we think, communicate, and design when we’re deciding how best to deliver data to our members, partners, and the public.
