The Westchester Index is an interactive website with local data designed to give a comprehensive portrait of our community, sponsored by the The New York Community Trust and developed by the Center for Governmental Research. The Index is aimed at helping community members and leaders better understand racial and ethnic disparities in various measures of well-being, so that we can work together to direct funding and resources for greater impact and develop solutions tailored to Westchester.
The Trust is New York's community foundation serving New York City's five boroughs, Westchester County, and Long Island. The Trust works to improve the quality of life for all in Westchester by connecting past, present, and future generations with nonprofits working in the area to foster healthy, equitable, and thriving communities.
