Measuring Progress, Inspiring Action is a section of the MAP AZ Dashboard website that provides users with indicators on the progress and development of Southern Arizona. The website aims to fill a gap by offering a common collection of information to evaluate and collaborate on addressing shared issues in the community. Users can access data and analysis for 36 socio-economic indicators across categories such as economy, education, health & social well-being, infrastructure, quality of place, and workforce & demographics.

For each indicator, users can learn how Southern Arizona is performing, compare it to other regions (including the U.S., select metropolitan areas, and Arizona counties), and understand the latest trends. The website features summary pages with charts and explanations for each indicator, as well as detailed comparison and maps pages. Users can also connect with researchers for advice and statistics.

The MAP AZ Dashboard is sponsored by local organizations like the Community Foundation for Southern Arizona, Pima Association of Governments, Southern Arizona Leadership Council, and the University of Arizona. It provides valuable information for decision-making and collaboration to drive positive change in Southern Arizona.
