The Long Island Index is a project that gathers and publishes data on the Long Island region. The Index does not advocate specific policies. Instead, our goal is to be a catalyst for action, by engaging the community in thinking about our region and its future. Specifically, the Index seeks to:
- Measure where we are and show trends over time
- Encourage regional thinking
- Compare our situation with other similar regions
- Increase awareness of issues and an understanding of their interrelatedness
- Inspire Long Islanders to work together in new ways to achieve shared goals
