The Community Indicators project has been facilitated by United Way of Pierce County as part of our goal to make measurable improvements in the community. As a cornerstone of that effort, United Way will regularly share key indicators, progress reports, and supporting data to grow the public’s commitment to our community’s health and well-being.

While this site is sponsored by the United Way of Pierce County, the data are collected mostly from the public domain. We want our site to be a useful clearinghouse for service providers, local governments funders and other stakeholders to stimulate conversations about how we can take care of our community.
