Mapping Miami-Dade: Local Focus Area

The IDEAS Consortium's I2A Learning Community has identified neighborhoods reflecting the demographic priorities of our three lead community organizations. The neighborhood-level maps below were developed with the advisement of community leaders to focus on the assets and needs of children in each community, and to ensure that data collected and findings are culturally informed and appropriatly contextualized.
