Measuring Progress, Inspiring Action is a project by MAP AZ Dashboard that aims to improve southern Arizona through data-driven collective civic action and education. The website provides users with indicators of the region's progress and access to the latest information and research. The platform fills a gap by offering a common collection of information to evaluate the community and collaborate on addressing shared issues.
Users can explore various indicators in six categories: Economy, Education, Health & Social Well-being, Infrastructure, Quality of Place, and Workforce & Demographics. Each category includes subcategories with specific indicators, such as Business Growth, High School Graduation Rates, Physical Well-Being, Air Quality, and many more. Users can compare Southern Arizona's performance to other regions such as other states in the West or select metropolitan areas.
The website offers summary pages with charts and explanations for each indicator, as well as detailed comparison pages. Users can also connect with researchers for advice and statistics related to the data on the site. The project is supported by sustaining sponsors, supporting sponsors, contributing sponsors, and partners who contribute to its mission of inspiring positive change in southern Arizona.
