Greater New Haven Community Wellbeing Index 2023

With support from community partners, DataHaven published a fourth edition of the Greater New Haven Community Wellbeing Index report on March 13, 2023. The report is produced by DataHaven with support from The Community Foundation for Greater New Haven and a diverse coalition of funders, and is a component of Community Health Needs Assessments for area hospitals and health departments.

The 2023 report includes an analysis of data from the 2021 and 2022 DataHaven Community Wellbeing Survey, as well as many other new data sources.

Please contact us if you would like to help distribute the report. DataHaven has made similar reports available for all other regions of Connecticut.

Greater New Haven Community Index 2013

In October 2013, DataHaven's 86-page report (click here to download PDF) illustrated the opportunities and challenges that face the metropolitan area where Greater New Haven residents live, work, and play. The report contains numerous maps and infographics about economic and social issues in the region.

The health chapter of this report is a comprehensive assessment benefiting from a collaborative approach led by the Partnership for a Healthier Greater New Haven — a coalition of public health, health care, government, and civic leaders, including Yale New Haven Hospital. DataHaven and the Community Alliance for Research and Engagement (CARE) at Yale School of Public Health formed a scientific partnership to develop and simultaneously conduct the DataHaven Community Wellbeing Survey and CARE New Haven Health Survey, which collectively represent the largest and most comprehensive surveys ever conducted in our region.
