The U.S. Census Bureau "[will] once again delay release, and narrow the scope, of detailed data from the #2020census... Detailed numbers dealing with household types broken down by race and ethnicity, and whether homes are owned or rented, won’t be released until September 2024" https://apnews.com/article/2020-census-data-households-race-f4767583f0819f0ba79e9752fbf8129e #nnip #census #demographics

“Black women in #Connecticut are 7 times more likely than white men or white women to say that it is likely they will have to leave their homes in the next 2 months due to being behind on housing payments, according to the 2021 DataHaven #WellbeingSurvey.” — DataHaven (@ctdata ) #evictions #HousingCrisis #nnip

“The same detail with which we have [data on the state of the labor force]—monthly estimates by age, race, sex, education, occupation, industry, state—should be produced to measure poverty; food access; housing security, #eviction; … health access, among others." @keds_economist https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2020/12/17/business/economy/economic-indicator-charts-measures.html #foodsecurity #economy #nnip

ICYMI last month, we updated the DataHaven Communities pages with the latest 2021 #Census 5Y ACS data, released just this week. Although many of our other resources, such as our Town Equity Reports, are more comprehensive, these pages are quite popular too. They were designed by a group of national data experts to be super easy to navigate and use!

Newly-released #Census data show #Connecticut added an estimated 20,263 residents from April 2020 to July 2022, a 0.6% increase (same as the US rate). Among 50 states, this places the state 23rd and 25th in population growth and growth rate, respectively, since 2020. https://www.census.gov/newsroom/press-releases/2022/2022-population-estimates.html #demographics #nnip via DataHaven @ctdata

One of the most striking charts showing how the pandemic exposed underlying social #inequality: Life expectancy declined by 5 to 6 years in the lowest-income neighborhoods of CA, but barely changed in the wealthiest ones.

DataHaven is presenting preliminary neighborhood-level data from the #CommunityIndex at all of New Haven’s Community Management Team neighborhood associations. Yesterday we were at the Westville meeting at Edgewood Park’s beautiful Coogan Pavilion. Data are available for all neighborhoods and towns statewide, so reach out if your town or neighborhood association would like to learn more! #nhv #nnip #newhaven #qualityoflife #research #connecticut

In the #NHV area, #Woodbridge is a hotspot of climate change emissions per capita : NYTimes interactive https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2022/12/13/climate/climate-footprint-map-neighborhood.html #climatechange #ClimateCrisis #climateaction #connecticut #newhaven #emissions #mapstodon #nnip c @KateRozen

Within some #FairfieldCounty #Connecticut neighborhoods, more than 2 out of every 100 residents (2%) are currently incarcerated — more than 30X the rate in other neighborhoods in the area. These neighborhood-level rates are averages: Among some groups such as men, young adults, and persons who identify as Black, these percentages are considerably higher. Some of the data used here comes from Prison Policy Initiative. Learn more in the next edition of our #CommunityIndex. #massincarceration #nnip

In the #Chicago area, the percent of adults who live in the same neighborhood where they grew up ranges from over 30% in areas of the #SouthSide, #LittleVillage, #Bridgeport, #Wrigleyville to less than 10% in #LincolnPark and many areas around #downtown. https://www.opportunityatlas.org/ #CHI #demographics #sociology #mapstodon #maps #nnip #illinois

Available for all 169 #Connecticut towns, DataHaven's town equity reports disaggregate data from the #2020Census, ACS microdata files, DataHaven Community #WellbeingSurvey record-level files, and other federal and state sources to create relevant town-level information that is not typically available from standard public databases.

We have also created reports on request for custom-defined geographic regions, such as agency service areas.

"When the history of American hardship is written... two recent events may capture the whipsaw forces of the age. Child poverty fell to a record low. And [then] the program that did the most to reduce it vanished."
