These Community Wellness Indicators tell the story of quality of life in Pierce County, Washington.  We offer them as a tool kit to help human service providers and those who support them.  You could call these the global pulse of the most vulnerable among us.

On this website, you will find 70 indicators, divided into 11 categories.  Each indicator includes:

• a narrative to support the data

• a chart that shows how the data have changed over time (if available)

• the original data sources

In a few cases we have included a map to show the spatial relationships in block groups based on data provided by the U.S. Census Bureau.

We are still asking questions and we welcome yours. This report is by no means a finished product. The vision is that it will be continuously updated and revised, not only by adding new data, but also as you, our partners and friends, ask for additional information and give us your feedback.

Special thanks to the many organizations that contributed data to this repository. Click here for a full list.
