Community Progress

San Antonio’s Community Vision, co-created by more than 12,000 San Antonians, is made up of nine community results and 51 indicators that measure progress toward those results. For more than a decade, SA2020 has reported on community indicators annually. This is SA2020’s final data update. See where San Antonio stands on shared goals and read how you can get involved to help achieve the shared vision.

Overview of 2024 Community Data

San Antonio's Community Vision

Explore the nine Community Results—defining where we want to be in the year 2030—that make up San Antonio’s shared vision.

Progress Snapshot

This snapshot offers a look at where San Antonio stands on the 2030 goals. But to look at an indicator merely as moving closer or further away from the goal misses the opportunity to see a more complete picture, where impact is interrelated across all indicators. Follow our tips for how to explore the community data with curiosity.

How To Explore the Community Data

Note: The flat lines at 0% show indicators that have baseline data only. The snapshot does not visualize 10 Indicators that are still In Development.

City Council Profiles

SA2020’s City Council Profiles disaggregate community data by geography. Doing so offers a deeper understanding of San Antonio’s progress, long-standing inequities, and the targeted, race-conscious interventions necessary to reach the shared Community Vision. On the dashboard, you can learn more about the district where you live or work and San Antonio’s legacy of redlining.

Call to Action: Policy Agenda

Six months into every fiscal year, which runs October 1 – September 30, the City Manager makes recommendations to the San Antonio City Council for a mid-year budget adjustment. This policy agenda focuses on 6 policies that the City of San Antonio can adapt as early as March 2024, 6 months into its current Fiscal Year. The policies focus on worker’s rights and economic development, civic engagement, environmental sustainability, community safety, housing affordability, mobility, public transportation, and accessibility. ocal nonprofits, organizers, and everyday San Antonians can use this policy agenda to inform their advocacy and engagement during the City’s mid-year budget adjustment.

Friends and Partners,

The last twelve years have proven that achieving San Antonio’s shared Community Vision requires targeted, race-conscious interventions to end systemic inequities. 

SA2020’s 2024 community data release, our final update, offers critical insight that can inform policies towards the needs of San Antonians and mitigate the longstanding inequities that have been exacerbated by the COVID-19 crisis. This final update is accompanied by a 2024 Policy Agenda, a call to action for City government.

SA2020’s digital dashboards show the status of 51 Community Indicators from 24 sources. SA2020 is using baseline data from 2019, when available. (Baseline data refers to the first year of data that informs the decade-long goal. At least one additional year beyond the baseline data must be known to report on progress.) Our dashboards offer additional context and information, including which policies may be influencing an indicator’s trajectory and disaggregation based on race, age, and gender where available. SA2020’s City Council Profiles disaggregate many indicators by geography to offer a deeper understanding of San Antonio’s progress and historic inequities.

For ten indicators, the measure remains “In Development” because we were unable to source reliable, annual data. We have included these indicators in our final data update because local institutions, including the City of San Antonio, must prioritize making this data available to support transparent reporting on community progress.

SA2020’s website and dashboards will remain available online through September 2024. We encourage you to explore the data with curiosity, ask critical questions of it, and download any data and resources that you’d like to refer back to.

How to Explore the Community Data

  1. Explore the community data from each of the nine Result pages, which shows the Indicators prioritized by the community to measure San Antonio’s progress toward the shared vision. As you do, we invite you to be curious: “Why is this Indicator moving?” “Why is this Indicator not moving?” “What can Related Indicators tell me about the bigger picture?”
  1. Indicators are conditions of well-being for a total population. The icons following the Result statement show you the status of each indicator: 1) On Track to reach goal by 2030, 2) Making Progress toward the goal, but not at the rate necessary to reach the goal, 3) Off Track from the goal and moving in the wrong direction, 4) Baseline Only with only the first year of data available, or 5) In Development because we were unable to source reliable, annual data. (We have included these indicators in our final data update because local institutions, including the City of San Antonio, must prioritize making this data available to support transparent reporting on community progress.)
  1. The Result pages offer a snapshot of the data available for each Indicator. For Indicators that have a goal, the trend line shows you the annual progress necessary to reach the goal.
  1. Click on any Indicator and you’ll land on the Indicator Page for a closer look at “What the Data Shows” and “More of the Story.” SA2020 disaggregates data, where possible, by race, gender, age, and City Council District. If disaggregated data is available, you’ll see that at the top. (The demographic categories reported are consistent with the sources referenced. SA2020 promotes collecting inclusive demographic data.)
  1. To download a chart or its data, click the icon to the right of the title. You’ll see different options for saving the information as an image or spreadsheet.
  1. On some Indicator pages, you’ll see a list of “Related Indicators.” This section helps you see how impact in one area of the Community Vision is tied to another.

Friends,

After 12 years of driving progress toward a shared community vision, SA2020, the nonprofit organization, is dissolving. We believe this is the most visionary thing we can do. We made this decision with the greatest care for our organizational values of leadership, community, and accountability, and we hope you’ll read more about it on our blog.

Our website is live with our final data release, showing where San Antonio stands on reaching the shared community vision. The data release is accompanied by our final call to action—a policy agenda for City government based on our unique bird’s-eye view of San Antonio.

While SA2020’s operations ended March 28, these resources, along with the last twelve years of our research and stories, will be available to download from our website through September 2024.
