A C.O.R.E. Resource for Measuring What Matters
The Common Community Scorecard is a companion to the Communities of Resilience & Excellence (C.O.R.E.) Guide. It provides communities with a shared foundation for understanding performance and progress across the key systems that shape quality of life.
The Scorecard offers a snapshot of how your community is doing today — and a framework to decide what to track next as you refine or develop your own local scorecard. It helps community teams see their story more clearly: strengths, challenges, and opportunities for impact.
Seven Aspects of Community Well-Being
The Common Community Scorecard includes seven indicators that reflect the interconnected systems shaping every community’s quality of life.
Each indicator was selected for its ability to measure long-term outcomes using freely available national data — ensuring every community, regardless of size or resources, can begin measuring performance immediately. Together, these measures help communities see the big picture: when one system falters, others are affected.
