Democratization of Data: Local Data, Local Governance
Michele Claibourn, Daniel Fairley II, Misty Graves, Lee LeBoeuf, Sherica Jones-Lewis
Local governments wield considerable power to promote the wellbeing of residents. Data is a powerful resource for informing policy, assessing equity, and holding governments accountable. While leaders and advocates are eager for data about their communities, more data that is accessible and easily understood is needed at the local level, and it must be available to and usable by everyone. Learn more about the university-city collaboration to update and expand the Stepping Stones report, which assesses the community well-being of children and families in the Charlottesville-Albemarle area. How can this report promote a shared understanding of well-being? The panel reviews key findings and explores what it means to be part of the conversation.
