Author: Berks County Community Foundation
Date: 2009
Abstract: This publication measures how well Berks County is doing in key quality of life areas, providing an overall picture of community vitality. The data and analysis that follow are meant to provide a snapshot of how Berks County is doing in key areas. In each area we’ve selected indicators that help paint the picture of our community. Following each set of indicators is discussion and analysis of what it all means. The Community Foundation has selected indicators based on several factors including timeliness, availability, reliability and consistency. Where possible, we provide trend data or comparative data to other counties, Pennsylvania, or the United States. In some instances we sacrificed the most up-to-date data in order to make sure the data we use is accurate and repeatable on a regular basis. The data and the analysis presented here provide a place to start the conversation about where our community is and where we want it to go. In some cases, we are already doing well. In other cases, we have much work to do.
