Twin Cities Datasets
twin_cities_datasetsRead-only
Lists the public-records datasets Brick & Mortar publishes for the seven-county Minneapolis-St. Paul metro, with real row counts, column names, the filtered cuts available, and the counties each one actually covers. Free, no account. Call this FIRST to learn what can be answered, then call twin_cities_records to ask it. These are joined county and federal records — parcels and lot lines, recorded sale prices, owners, rental licences, contamination files, business counts by trade, census tracts.
Example invocations:
"What Twin Cities property data do you have access to?"
"Is there anything on contamination or storage tanks in Minneapolis?"
"What columns are in the recorded-sales dataset?"
