Healthy Community Capitals

The Community Capitals project explored the relationship between community capital indicators and the overall condition of communities in Iowa, aiming to identify strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and gaps within these communities. The main work focused on major events such as natural disasters, job losses, new job creation, school closures, and new opportunities for tourism and healthcare. The study sought to identify the most relevant community capitals, trends over time, and the impact on community resiliency by analyzing correlations between various indicators and comparing quantitative data with some qualitative insights.
