Anne Arundel County's Community Wellbeing Index

The Community Wellbeing Index was created to provide data across several indicators that help us understand where disparities, inequities, and gaps exist in Anne Arundel County. This information allows us to develop policies, practices, programs, and strategies to prevent, reduce, and eliminate barriers that inhibit equal access and outcomes for all community members. We recognize that individuals, groups, and communities will need different access and resources based on their specific needs.

  • Safety

    Crime and Natural Hazards

  • Health

    Health Insurance, Life Expectancy, Physical Health, and Mental Health

  • Prosperity

    Homeownership, Median Income, Housing Cost-burden, Poverty, and Educational Attainment
