Local Assets & Opportunity Profiles and Data

CFED partners with local foundations and community organizations to create Local Assets & Opportunity Profiles. The Profile is a data tool and resource with many of the same data measures from the Scorecard at the city, county and metropolitan area level. The Profile can help city leaders and local advocates understand and assess the critical problems that perpetuate financial insecurity among their residents.
