About Tal Roded
Author of NYCuriosity
I use a background in economics, data science, and research to study and write about public policy. Currently a data scientist at LinkedIn, contributor to Block Party, MPA student at NYU Wagner, and appointed member of Manhattan Community Board 3. I run NYCuriosity — data-driven analysis of NYC transit, streets, and urban policy.
NYCuriosity makes city government legible. I dig through fiscal impact statements, DOT plans, community board minutes, and agency budgets, then turn them into clear writing and interactive tools that a curious New Yorker can actually use, no policy degree required.
Most of it is free: the Substack (https://nycuriosity.substack.com), the charts, and the explainers. Your membership funds the deeper work and unlocks the premium data tools.
