Greater St. Cloud Equity Dashboard

This dashboard brings together data on disparities and inequities that exist in the Greater St. Cloud region. Minnesota Compass, a project of Wilder Research, developed this dashboard report with support from the Morgan Family Foundation. To develop this dashboard, Minnesota Compass staff conducted listening sessions with St. Cloud area residents in fall 2020 to learn about the information and data residents wanted to see in the dashboard, including ideas for solutions in the Greater St. Cloud area. Following the listening sessions, an advisory committee guided Minnesota Compass staff on the development of the dashboard, including its structure, content, and framework. By and large, data were assembled from existing data sources, supplemented with individual stories from discussion groups and interviews with diverse communities. Advancing social equity and reducing disparities in the Greater St. Cloud, Minnesota, region requires a common understanding among organizations, community leaders, and residents of the disparities that exist. Equipped with credible data, communities are better equipped to identify and evaluate strategies, policies, and programs to address disparities. To view the full dashboard click the link below.
