Sharing Our Data
Most grant or funding applications require data about the region you serve. CVCF has created a data dashboard for Fresno that contains data from 28 metrics associated with upward mobility. These metrics are grouped within DRIVE’s three priority investment areas: economic development, human capital, and neighborhood development. Within economic development, you can find metrics related to employment, finance, and even digital access. In human development, you will find metrics associated with education, health, and social ties. Our neighborhood development metrics include data that impact resident welfare such as housing, racial diversity, environment, policing, and transportation.
