State of the Community

Soon, the United Way of Greater Cincinnati will release its State of the Community report, addressing several key quality-of-life issues as regards our community.

The first report issued in 2004, incorporated 26 key indicators of the region's overall socio-economic health. The second report is scheduled to be released at a press conference set for Dec. 5. It incorporates 33 key indicators in the areas of population, children and youth, educational attainment, health, the economy and social relations.

This document can help politicians, community leaders and, most importantly, folks at the grassroot level, establish a meaningful community agenda lacking in our current conversation and certainly lacking in the most recent political elections.

Stay tuned, and be prepared to take action.
