The North Central Region Household Survey Reports present index measures that synthesize multiple survey questions from the NCR-Stat: Baseline Survey 2024 into meaningful indicators of household and community well-being. Organized into NCRCRD’s three thematic areas: Promoting Community Health & Wellness, Creating Resilient Communities & Economies, and Developing Leadership & Civic Engagement, these indices enable comparisons between rural and urban areas across the North Central Region, providing benchmarks for tracking changes over time.
With support from the North Central Cooperative Extension Association, thirteen reports (one regional report and twelve state reports) were compiled by the NCRCRD team of Dr. Michael Wilcox, Dr. Zuzana Bednarik, DeAndre Malone, and Mary Breidenbach.
