Creating a data ecosystem for the region gives a comprehensive look at well-being across communities, down to the census tract level. Available at newdex.org, the platform provides a regional view while preserving local detail to help communities identify priorities, understand disparities, and inform strategic planning, public policy, and program investments.
NEWDEX originally served Calumet, Outagamie, and Winnebago counties. Its expanded service area also includes Brown, Green Lake, Kewaunee, Menominee, Oconto, Shawano, Waupaca, and Waushara counties.
