NORTH CENTRAL CEDS DATA DASHBOARD
The North Central Pennsylvania CEDS Data Dashboard is an interactive tool that supports data-driven decision-making and tracks regional progress toward the goals and priorities identified in this plan. The dashboard provides a centralized platform for stakeholders to explore key economic, demographic, and infrastructure indicators across the six-county region, helping inform planning, investment, and policy decisions.
The dashboard lets users view data at both the regional and county level, offering insight into trends in population, workforce, housing, infrastructure, and economic performance. These data points are aligned with the CEDS strategic priorities and guiding principles, allowing the region to monitor progress, identify challenges, and adjust strategies as conditions evolve.
In addition to providing baseline data, the dashboard serves as an evaluation and accountability tool by tracking performance indicators associated with the CEDS. Metrics related to employment, income, education, infrastructure, and quality of life help measure the effectiveness of regional investments and initiatives. This enables the region to assess outcomes, demonstrate progress, and support funding applications with credible, up-to-date data.
The Data Dashboard also enhances regional collaboration by providing a shared source of information for local governments, economic development organizations, workforce partners, and community stakeholders. By improving access to consistent and reliable data, the dashboard strengthens coordination across counties and supports more informed, strategic decision-making that advances the long-term economic competitiveness of North Central Pennsylvania.
