An interactive data platform, this initiative seeks to facilitate the practical use of data by city and community leaders for decision-making and capacity building in Houston's communities.
Through engagement with community and local stakeholders, the Kinder Institute's HCDC team works to understand the changes in and challenges to neighborhoods, and ultimately address equity issues in the Houston region. HCDC provides a robust online dashboard with multipurpose community profiles offering a wide array of neighborhood-level indicators highlighting disparities and other local issues.
HCDC is a member of the Urban Institute's National Neighborhood Indicators Partnership (NNIP), a learning network of independent organizations in 30 cities that share a mission to ensure all communities have access to data and the skills to use information to advance equity and well-being across neighborhoods. HCDC was made possible by funding from Houston Endowment.
