Measuring Progress

Measuring Progress: Regional Performance Measures and Indicators evaluates progress our region has made toward Metro Vision goals in growth and development, transportation, and environment. The report includes 23 indicators, each scored as moving in a positive direction (up arrow), negative direction (down arrow), or neutral (sideways arrow).

Note: The original 2008 report included incorrect data on regional biodiversity of species and significant natural communities status. The correct direction of this indicator is negative. The updated version of the report, which you may download below, reflects this correction.

The following chart summarizes the performance of each indicator in the original 2005 report and the updated 2008 report.
