The Community Data does not offer much real-time data through 2020 because this data largely lags by one-to-two years. The trended data does give critical insight to understanding how San Antonio has made progress—even incrementally—and where institutions across sectors must double down to deliver race-conscious, targeted policies, investments, and services. Bold efforts throughout the last decade prove what San Antonians are capable of achieving when working together toward a shared goal.
To look at indicators as merely moving up or down hides the more complex story of the targeted efforts that moved us closer to the Community Vision over the last decade. Within the overview of each result and indicator, you’ll see room for celebration and learning.
The data in these pages represent San Antonians: children, students, co-workers, neighbors, grandparents, and more. To see each other as merely numbers is to lose sight of San Antonio’s Community Vision, which reads, in part, ”We are all responsible for our collective well-being.” The shared Community Vision is important for what it says and for how it holds institutions accountable to meeting the needs of San Antonians.
