Co-hosted by: DataShare Santa Cruz County & CORE Investments

Interpreter: Stella Lauerman

Bilingual meeting support: Gisella Carrasco

Language: English, with simultaneous Spanish interpretation

Join DataShare Santa Cruz County and CORE Investments for a community conversation about harnessing local data to foster Economic Security & Social Mobility (one of the eight CORE Conditions for Health & Well-being) so that all community members in Santa Cruz County experience stable employment, livable wages, food security, the ability to afford basic needs, wealth accumulation, and prosperity.

We will explore local, regional, state and national data in the CORE Results Menu on DataShare in order to gather insights, identify trends, and make meaning of data in these Economic Security & Social Mobility impact areas:

  1. Increased economic vitality

  2. Higher levels of self-sufficiency.

  3. Increased social, economic, and occupational mobility

  4. Increased generational wealth

In this interactive session, participants will be asked to share their perspectives on these questions:

  • What “stories” do the selected indicators tell about the assets of people/places in our communities?

  • What questions could (or should) we be asking about bias, limits, and context of the data?

  • What programs, practices, and policies exist (or are needed) to create the conditions for Economic Security & Social Mobility for all community members across the lifespan?

  • How could we build on the available data to measure change, learn what works, and assess our collective impact?

This is the third session in an 8-part community conversation designed to dive into the data that can help people identify community strengths and needs, set goals for community well-being, track progress, and connect strategies across the CORE Conditions for Health and Well-being.
