Deciding What to Share
Send PDC members a copy ahead of
time so they will have time to study the
statistics or demographics
Send them questions to answer to help
guide their review of the data
Don’t overwhelm them
Data Review Questions
 What did you see that surprised you?
• What was one significant piece of information?
• Is there a trend or a need that you would like to
learn more about?
• As you think about possible collaborations, what
groups in our county/district might have a similar
interest in youth issues related to these reports?
• What resource people in our community will be able
to provide us additional information?
Using Statistics with Your PDC
Population may be the single most
important indicator of a county’s overall
situation. The size of the local population,
its age distribution, and changes over
time greatly affect economic and social
conditions in a county.
