The City of Boulder’s Community Dashboard provides the public with data related to city programs and community indicators, organized according to the city’s Sustainability, Equity and Resilience Framework. Developed by the community, the framework provides a vision for an inspired future and aligns efforts across the city by establishing a common language for goals and priorities. We are working to enhance this dashboard using public feedback, so check back for ongoing updates.
