In addition to collecting all the user personas we could find in use in the public sector, we came up with some useful tips for those looking to create user personas.

Sunlight’s Open Cities team has collected dozens of user personas that city governments or public data providers have used to help map and understand their open data users. Having a clear understanding of who is using open data and how they’re using it gives data providers the power to tailor public information to residents’ needs for maximal impact.
