MEASUREMENT & DATA
Data are power–and data can empower communities with knowledge to drive transformational change.
Data help us describe—and quantify—the communities in which we live, work, and play, and give us information we need for local decision-making, policy development, resource allocation, and advocacy. Communities often rely on data about their strengths, assets, opportunities, and needs to inform their position and make their case. Data can also affect broader change by supporting transformative systems change data and shifting power toward community.
Data to Action
Data help us to see the world around us. At the neighborhood or community level, local data tell a story of place– shedding light on local conditions, community assets, and needs. Having data and knowledge about local conditions can be essential, as it reflects local conditions in communities and can be used to inform interventions that promote health and well-being.
