The Durham Neighborhood Compass is a neighborhood indicators project that integrates Census Bureau and local data in one tool to measure the thriving, livable qualities of neighborhoods. The objective is to provide a data tool that allows local government and residents to target neighborhood improvement efforts and track changes in our overall quality of life. Through its use government, neighborhood & homeowners associations, nonprofits, businesses, academic institutions, and others can align resources with data to create policy, tailor program development, and target resources.
