OAIC Resources for Outreach and Planning
In this document the UW-Extension Office of Access, Inclusion, and Compliance (OAIC) consolidates dozens of disparate federal and state data sources into a single, organized directory for rapid assessment. By providing direct access to localized metrics on broadband, demographics, economic health, and climate risk, it reduces the time required to find credible evidence for grant writing, reports, and program prioritization. It is an essential toolkit for ensuring that outreach strategies and resource allocations are backed by the most current, Wisconsin-specific data available.
User expertise rating:
Beginner. This resource offers a quick guide to the data available to inform outreach and planning efforts.
Sample questions:
How has the size and country of origin of our local immigrant population shifted over the last decade, and do we have the necessary language-specific resources and culturally relevant programming to meet the needs of these residents? How many households in a given area are unserved by broadband, and how does this correlate with our local poverty and educational attainment data?
