DataHaven Indicators
Please see http://www.ctdatahaven.org/dbt/indicators.php?topic=2 for a list of Civic Vitality indicators we have identified. You may also visit the DataHaven portal on the Connecticut Data Collaborative website at http://ctdata.org/dh, where additional data is available for download and visualization. As we are developing a new system for visualizing this information, not all of our data sets have been uploaded (or updated) here. Please contact us directly if you can't find what you need.
For the most recent general socioeconomic profile data on Connecticut towns and counties, please visit our page on Demographics. We have links here to the most recent profiles published by the Census Bureau.

The web is a rich source of other indicators on civic vitality, though in many cases they are not provided at a neighborhood level. Please contact DataHaven if you wish to get involved in building our online resources.
