In a world where data drives progress, measuring what matters helps us affect social change for all Northern Nevadans.
So, how are we doing?
We've curated our data into 8 different categories to help you get a snapshot of our progress. See how we've moved the needle for each important area!
A thriving economy provides jobs, income for necessities and sufficient revenue for public services, creating a healthy community for the people and businesses. Strong economic resources allow individuals to possess workforce skills for success, businesses to be more productive, families to be more self-reliant, and government to be responsive to citizen priorities.
Learning allows everyone to be productive citizens, self-sufficient and ready for life. Respect for and access to all types of educational opportunities throughout life equips us with the ability to learn, realize earning potential, think, and to access information in order to make effective decisions, while enriching our understanding of our diverse world.
The region’s air quality affects the health of our more vulnerable citizens and impacts an active outdoor lifestyle important for tourism and attracting young professionals to the region.
Efficient water consumption and conservation are key to ensuring water sources into the future, including a “living river” system that helps improve Truckee River water quality for many uses from drinking water to recreation to wildlife habitat.
Engaging in community is the essence of democracy, inclusion, social responsibility and stewardship for the future of the community.
Civic responsibility includes having the ability to effectively participate in the governing process; whereas the diversity of elected or appointed policy-makers and staff demonstrates that government is representative of and responsive to our citizens.
Access to affordable and reliable modes of transportation, plus alternative and active transit indicates an effective transportation system with a diversity of options critical to our economy, traffic congestion, and environment.
Planning and community development across sectors including active lifestyles, diverse types of recreation and neighborhood livability, proactively promote health communities while providing the natural benefits of flood control, purifying air and water, and cooling the region.
