Civic Health Index

The Civic Health Index measures how actively and effectively people participate in their community and democratic processes. It looks at activities like voting, volunteering, attending meetings, and engaging in discussions about public issues. This index helps show the strength of civic life in a community, indicating how connected and involved residents are. A high civic health suggests a community where people are engaged, informed, and work together, which can lead to better decision-making and social cohesion. It serves as a valuable tool for policymakers and organizations to understand and improve civic participation and community well-being.
