East Metro Pulse
We want to learn more about the strengths and challenges facing our community. But the way a community functions is more nuanced than numerical.
East Metro Pulse is a tool to measure community vitality and quality of life in Dakota, Ramsey and Washington counties. In each iteration of the survey and report, we ask East Metro residents how they feel about community connectedness, economic opportunity and security, education and much more.
East Metro Pulse provides valuable data on the health and vitality of the East Metro and ensures that grantseekers, community leaders, policymakers and others have access to comprehensive and meaningful data about the region. The results of East Metro Pulse help the Foundation and our neighbors better understand our community’s strengths and opportunities for growth.
