Greater New Haven Community Index 2019

Greater New Haven Community Index 2019: Understanding Well-Being, Economic Opportunity, and Change in Greater New Haven Neighborhoods is a comprehensive, 120-page report with over 85 data graphics that describe the communities and neighborhoods that make up the Greater New Haven region, and uncover the opportunities and issues facing our area.

The DataHaven report is based on federal and statewide data sources, including the 2015 and 2018 DataHaven Community Wellbeing Survey, which conducted live interviews with over 32,000 randomly-selected adults throughout Connecticut last year and weighted the survey responses to be representative of adults living within individual municipalities throughout the state. Survey responses provide further context to population change, health, early childhood, youth and education, economic opportunity, and civic engagement in the region. The survey provides information not otherwise available at a local level, such as respondents' views on effectiveness of local government, financial security, access to resources and basic needs, transportation, and other social and economic issues.

The report is published by DataHaven and a team of regional foundations, hospitals, government agencies, and community organizations, including The Community Foundation for Greater New Haven. The report is widely used by public and private organizations throughout the region.
