Community indicators

Community indicators are measures of how a place or community is doing. They typically measure things like economic health, educational success, safety, and the environment. For example, community indicators can measure things like the number of people living in poverty, the rate of college graduates in a certain area, the amount of crime in an area, and the quality of the air and water in an area. Community indicators help people understand how their communities are doing and what can be done to improve them.
