Community Report Cards

The Community Report Cards for Philadelphia neighborhoods analyze critical indicators (such as prenatal care, school drop out rates, juvenile arrests, and youth development opportunities) and highlight progress and challenges for children and youth. Maps pinpoint and display specific conditions with measurable impacts on the daily lives of children and youth in neighborhoods where they learn, play and grow. With this knowledge, decision makers inside and outside of government can target neighborhoods and advocate for the development and growth of healthy community-based programs and projects. The Community Report Cards will be used to launch neighborhood-based planning forums throughout the city.

These specialized report cards provide a targeted version of the citywide Report Card to the following 11 Philadelphia communities.
