BIPOC DATA RESOURCES
This resource page list is meant to be a data tool for Coalition of Communities of Color (CCC) members and partners. The resources have the most up-to-date data on various topics related to Building Power for Communities of Color and Coalition of Communities of Color (CCC) advocacy endorsements.
In total, there are over 100 resources currently available with Local (county, district, city or neighborhood), State and National level data in Oregon and beyond. Each data source in our list is organized by data type:
Dashboard: Data portal with easy-to-access data points, and you can do some analysis with the data.
Datasets: This is raw data the user can analyze and manipulate with this data.
Data tables: These data usually contain counts and percentages the user cannot analyze, but you can calculate percentages and change them over time.
Reports: These are written materials that have already been analyzed.
Some of the online resources are interactive, meaning you can filter or manipulate the data to get specific information. Each data source has a description of the data, and what region the data or report covers.
