Community Vitality

Community Vitality refers to markers of resources and opportunities for a community’s residents. Indicators include households with no internet and households with no vehicles. 

Please note that we would welcome the opportunity to include arts- and culture-related indicators in the future, as we think they are a key component towards increased understanding of our region’s vitality. If you have access to any such indicators and would be interested in partnering with ACT Rochester, please contact us at actrochester@racf.org.

In addition to indicators here, be sure to read our Brain Food posts tagged with ‘community vitality for associated narrative.
