This report is the first comprehensive community indicators program for Fairfield County, covering individual towns and neighborhoods.
DataHaven produced the 82-page report in partnership with Fairfield County's Community Foundation, with support from major hospitals and government agencies.

Understanding the Valley Region
This new 58-page report was created in partnership with the Valley Community Foundation, Griffin Hospital, and an advisory committee of dozens of organizations based in the Lower Naugatuck Valley. It will be distributed to thousands of residents of Ansonia, Beacon Falls, Derby, Naugatuck, Oxford, Seymour, and Shelton.
Two years in the making, the report relies on data from federal, state, and local agencies, as well as information collected directly from more than 16,000 randomly-selected statewide residents, including 1,050 Valley residents, as part of the 2015 DataHaven Community Wellbeing Survey.

Help test our new statewide neighborhood data mapper
In the process of working with over 100 partner organizations since last year, we have created new statewide data resources that are not available from any other source. Some of these new datasets are mapped in our new reports.
To further the purposes of those reports, we have developed an interactive online viewer so people can access even more maps and tables.
