Our Impact

Data Philosophy

 

We strive to incorporate data in all our activities through surveys, interviews, and data dashboards. Our community-oriented data approach makes our work unique and keeps us accountable to White Center residents. 

​

Data gathered through community meetings, the community survey, and in partnership with organizations such as Highline Public Schools and King County shape current CDA initiatives in community building, neighborhood revitalization and early learning/K-12 family supports.
