Our Mission

The mission of CivMetrics is to provide local insight and information through the power of a digital platform – whether data, source documents, news or expert commentary.  We are animated by the emerging opportunities to collect, analyze and present data on our communities in a way never before possible.  We provide grounded data-driven perspectives on local development for professionals and businesses, along with economic and demographic data for all community stakeholders, including individuals and families.  Data will not substitute solid narratives and debate; however, it can anchor such stories and dialogue with a reality and objectivity that is sadly absent in much of the current public and private discussion about our homes, communities, and local institutions.
