To get the most out of this indicator . . .

Ask questions:

· Charitable giving can be related to income and cost of living. Does looking at median family income and housing affordability give a sense of how the population may be able or unable to donate philanthropically?

· Philanthropy can be tied to engagement. Does your county have a high voter turnout rate?

Dig deeper:

· Look at the county rankings for your state and/or view maps to see how your county compares to others.

· Use the U.S. Census Bureau’s American FactFinder to learn more about the local population. Many indicators at this site report data for income and housing. See http://factfinder2.census.gov.
