populace.dev

Landing site for populace — an open-source stack for building weighted synthetic populations from survey and administrative data.

• The stack: https://github.com/PolicyEngine/populace
• The site: a single static page (index.html + style.css + field.js), no build step.

Develop

python3 -m http.server 4399
# open http://localhost:4399

Design

Typography: Fraunces (display) · Newsreader (body) · IBM Plex Mono (labels). The hero canvas (field.js) renders one point of light per synthetic household, brightness scaled by survey weight. Respects prefers-reduced-motion.

Deployed to Vercel; static, no framework.
