Statistics provided by the Baltimore Neighborhood Indicators Alliance in the University of Baltimore's Jacob France Institute were cited by Catherine E. Pugh, the Democratic nominee for Baltimore mayor, in a New York Times article about Pugh's winning of the nomination. Pugh said she uses BNIA data to better understand the city's issues.
Pugh "called herself 'a person of best practices' and said she had been combing through research conducted by the Baltimore Neighborhood Indicators Alliance, a branch of the University of Baltimore," the Times article stated.
"'I know the neighborhoods where unemployment is the highest,' she said. 'I understand that we have 77,000 people unemployed in this city.'"
