Outcome: Initial Outcome
Providing data for local planning can take a variety of forms – from working with individual counties to supporting statewide efforts. As part of the UK Extension County Assessment process, I developed extensive data profiles for each county in the state as well as a state profile and summary profiles with selected data for each of the Extension Districts. Each 4-page profile presents data on 92 different variables from 23 sources. Data are organized across 6 thematic areas: demographics; families and households; agriculture; jobs, economy and labor force; youth; and, health and wellness. In each section, the data were presented using 3 techniques: tables, graphs, and text. All told, the final data for these profiles contained 25,000 numbers spanning 226 columns and 726 individual charts.
