Here’s what they want you to know about, but several meetings will be added soon after I post this – some with just a little over 24 hours notice. Those are the meetings they don’t want the public at. Or, are the committee staff just totally inept. I’d guess the former. To add to the uselessness, many “no link” items this week.

– The Neighborhood Indicators Project was launched in 2008. With input from neighborhood leaders, governmental staff and officials, thirty plus key indicators were selected to measure the quality of life in Madison at the neighborhood level. The project now has five years of indicator data, 2008-2012, which makes it more useful for examining changes in our neighborhoods and detecting trends across our city. The available data items also include snapshots of Census 2000 and 2010 demographic characteristics.
The July 30th hands on session will demonstrate how to:
* Simply retrieve demographic data, such as total population, female head of households, and total number of children for neighborhoods in your district and compare them with others across the City;
* Examine economic, health, housing, public safety and transportation data and trends within a neighborhood area or in contrast to other geographic areas;
* Use mapping and charting tools to identify patterns of segregation and social isolation based on race, education, and economic indices.
Agenda

III. Indicator Criteria and Selection – David Long and Dan Veroff, Applied Population Lab
