Community Resource Index

The Community Resource Index is an average of all Index categories (economics, education, family, health, and community). It presents an overall view of the resources available to each school’s surrounding community.

Why is the mean not always in the middle of the scale?

Based on how this school community compares to others, the data suggest that the following might be assets/strengths: high-quality, early childcare seats, per 10,000 children between ages 3 and 4; number of routine doctor visits annually, per 10,000 residents; and population with public health insurance (%).

Based on how this school community compares to others, the data suggest that the following might be needs/areas for additional resources: percent of households with access to broadband; overall business vacancies (%); and adults incarcerated (%).

This school is part of a community with many strengths and assets that might not be fully captured by quantitative data in the Community Resource Explorer (CRE). The CRE highlights what resources and amenities might be available to residents based on publicly available datasets. These datasets, while helpful, do not include important aspects of a neighborhood, such as the history of how it came to be, cultures of the residents, and trusted institutions/points of pride, like places of worship and neighborhood associations. Over time, we hope to add these types of qualitative assets to the school community profiles. Please help us to do so by sharing insight you have about your neighborhood here.
