Community Indicators for Your Community

Real, lasting community change is built around knowing where you are, where you want to be, and whether your efforts are making a difference. Indicators are a necessary ingredient for sustainable change. And the process of selecting community indicators -- who chooses, how they choose, what they choose -- is as important as the data you select.

This is an archive of thoughts I had about indicators and the community indicators movement. Some of the thinking is outdated, and many of the links may have broken over time.

Obesity Statistics

I saw this chart, found at WellingtonGrey.net, to be a powerful way to display data in ways guaranteed to spark conversation. (Click on the picture to enlarge.)


The execution is brilliant in its simplicity. Once again, the challenge for our community indicators projects is to display the data in ways that provoke conversation and promote understanding. I think this chart does that.

What other examples do you have that we can share?

    I think that the information is so interesting and so cool, obesity is a uncommon topic and very difficult to learn, so this information can help to many people to do homework.
