National Neighborhood Indicators Partnership

Rise represents St. Louis in the National Neighborhood Indicators Partnership, a collaborative effort by the Urban Institute and local partners to further the development and use of neighborhood information systems in local policymaking and community building.

In this role, Rise collaborates with partners from cities around the country to track neighborhood changes and determine the indicators needed to best do so. This helps is not just make decisions locally about tracking the effectiveness of our own revitalization efforts, but allows us to share data with other experts to both refine our models and assist others in refining theirs.
