Community Indicators Project

About the Project
The Orange County Community Indicators Project (CIP) annually measures the overall quality of life of the Orange County community by tracking key indicators of economic, social and environmental well being. Modeled after successful programs in the state and nation, the Community Indicators Project serves as an ongoing and dynamic measurement tool which can support a variety of local and regional initiatives concerned with the wellbeing of the county.


With the help and commitment of key stakeholders and numerous contributors throughout the county, the project has successfully produced annual reports since 1999. We hope you will find the reports useful and thought provoking. We invite you to share them with others interested in sustaining Orange County's long-term health and quality of life.

Community input is very important to the success of this effort. You can contact project representatives by calling (714)834.7257 or sending an email to ocindicators@ocgov.com.
