FOR COMMUNITY INDICATOR SYSTEMSMajor improvement in data availability
Purpose this briefing– Review the new opportunities– Talk about how to take advantage of them
Advances driven by needs for new data to enable interpretation
1. Data for smaller areas (neighborhoods)– Problems unevenly distributed across space– City level averages tell little (misleading)– Need to know where, how much, when
2. Data for larger areas (for comparison)– Don’t know where you stand unless know how relate to others

NNIP Data Intermediaries:INFORMATION FOR CHANGE
Democratizing Information- Facilitating the direct use of data by stakeholders
not just writing the reports yourself
A central mission — strengthening, empowering low-income neighborhoods
- Partners work for many clients but influence
of this theme evident in all their work
Information as a bridge for collaboration
![Page 11: USING INFORMATION FOR COMMUNITY CHANGE Finding the Data that Work for Your Community Tom Kingsley and Kathy Pettit, The Urban Institute NAPC-CIC National.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062716/56649e105503460f94afbfe8/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
NNIP DATA INTERMEDIARIES
NNIP Partners (to date, mostly nonprofits partnering with governments)
- Government agencies (Seattle)
- Community foundations (Atlanta, Boston, Denver)
- University centers (Cleveland, Los Angeles)
- United Way based groups (Des Moines, Indianapolis)
- Nonprofit intermediaries (Chattanooga, Louisville, Miami, Milwaukee, Nashville, New Orleans, Philadelphia, Providence, Sacramento)
- Local Coalitions (Baltimore, Camden, Hartford, Oakland, Washington)
All work by collaborating - With public agencies, nonprofits, businesses
![Page 12: USING INFORMATION FOR COMMUNITY CHANGE Finding the Data that Work for Your Community Tom Kingsley and Kathy Pettit, The Urban Institute NAPC-CIC National.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062716/56649e105503460f94afbfe8/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Offer a one-stop-shop for data - Tremendous efficiency for users - Benefits of social infrastructure
Positioned to maintain trust of data providers and users over long term
- Not linked to short term political interest - Care with cleaning and release of data
Are, or can be, locally self sustaining - Fee/project income can cover majority of cost
- But some local general support required

NNIP – LOCAL APPLICATIONS
Comprehensive Indicator Systems- Only Boston and Baltimore so far- Expect expansion, with links to CIC, KNII
Applications indicators in change initiatives- Welfare-to-work planning (5 cities)
- Prisoner reentry issues (12 cities)
- Neighborhood health studies/programs (5 cities)
- Community development/land market (6 cities)
- Early warning indicators
- Applications with neighborhood residents (use indicators in improvement planning, change external laws/practices)

Recent national initiatives create NEW OPPORTUNITIES
Community Indicators Consortium National Neighborhood Indicators Partnership
(NNIP) National Infrastructure for Community Statistics
(NICS) Key National Indicators Initiative (KNII) Fannie Mae Foundation’s DataPlace
All call for new efforts to BUILD LOCAL CAPACITY– Recognize few cities have systems so far
![Page 15: USING INFORMATION FOR COMMUNITY CHANGE Finding the Data that Work for Your Community Tom Kingsley and Kathy Pettit, The Urban Institute NAPC-CIC National.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062716/56649e105503460f94afbfe8/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Building tools around innovations
NNIP Partners’ Data System and DataPlace
Cross-site studies to learn about the dynamics of neighborhood change
Many forms of dissemination
Limited technical assistance to help groups in new cities get started
NNIP: Partnership Agenda

National Infrastructure for Community Statistics (NICS)
– Goal – accessible, integrated sources of data at all levels
– 30-40 federal agencies, national nonprofits, local stakeholders and foundations coordinated by Brookings
– A forum to exchange data, services and products:
» Data: new sets with community-level information
» Tools: to better access, manage, combine, clean, compare and analysis community statistics
– Began with four workshops on local, state, federal and private stakeholders
– Currently beginning pilot projects and fund raising

Key National Indicators Initiative (KNII)
– Goal – create national indicator system and promote use of indicators at all levels
– Mobilized by GAO, now coordinated by National Academy of Sciences
– Will use available data sources to describe American people, the economy, and the environment
– But also identify gaps for key unanswered questions
– Current funding from Hewlett Foundation; role in system development uncertain
