ABOUT THIS SITE - Indianapolis Quality of Life

Our goal for the Indianapolis Quality of Life web site is to provide an overview of key indicators that can support and encourage dialogue about actions that can be taken to improve quality of life in our city and region. The current focus is on Public Health as one of many critical dimensions of quality of life. This demonstration site is fully functional for the Public Health topic and is intended for members of the community who are interested in the health of their community. We provide more than 100 health measures for Marion County, put in the context of the United States, all 50 states, and Indiana counties where available. To add further depth, many of these indicators are also available at the city, township, and census tract levels for Marion County.

Providing reliable information to help us improve quality of life is an important goal of this site. This site is an information portal through which you can find the information you need in order to make decisions and take actions that will improve our city and county.

Reporting easy-to-understand measures in multiple public health categories, the site allows users to learn more about the key indicators through related reports, briefings, news, and links to important resources.

Developing measures and related information is possible with the expertise of faculty and staff at Indiana University and the awesome participation and assistance the Indianapolis Quality of Life Working Group and the Public Health Editorial Board.
