10. Demographics data was collected from both the 2000 census and the Charlottesville Public Schools for 2001 and 2002. Results: 40,049 residents from 2000 census. 4,256 public school students enrolled in K-12 in 2001 4,267 public school students enrolled in K-12 in 2002

12. Students categorize themselves as one of six different races or ethnicities: White (Caucasian), Black (African-American), Hispanic, American Indian, Asian/ Pacific Islander, and Other. Results: In 2001, 57% of students were non-White. In 2002, 56% of students were non-White. Analysis: In 2001 there were five city neighborhoods that are 85% or more of a single ethnicity: Greenbrier, Fifeville, 10th & Page, Starr Hill, and Ridge St. In 2002 there were 7 neighborhoods that are 85% or more of a single ethnicity: Fifeville (Black), Greenbrier (White), Jackson Via (Black), Lewis Mtn (White), Rose Hill (Black), 10th & Page (Black), and Starr Hill (Black).

15. Parents self-report by selecting one of six categories: students living with both parents, with their mother only, with their father only, with a guardian, living alone, or �other.� These data do not indicate if blended families, composed of a biological parent and a step parent, count as a two parent family or a single parent family. Children with single parents are more likely to suffer economic hardship (America�s Children, 2000). Results: 2001: 41% of students live with both parents 2002: 42% of students live with both parents Analysis: In 2001 there were five City neighborhoods where less than 30% of students lived with both parents: Fifeville, Ridge St, Rose Hill, The Meadows, and 10th & Page. In 2002 less than 30% of students in these same five neighborhoods lived with both parents.

42. The maps show incident reports of arrests for domestic assault. They do not necessarily represent the residences of the people involved. Domestic violence was mapped because research shows that it is linked to later negative outcomes for adolescents, such as delinquency, substance abuse, teen pregnancy, and foster care. Results: In 2001 there were 279 arrests citywide In 2002 there were 208, a 25% decrease. Analysis: In 2001, more than 25% of Domestic Assault Arrests occurred in Belmont. More than 15% occurred in Fifeville. In 2002, more than 25% of these arrests again occurred in Belmont. More than 15% of the arrests were in the Ridge Street neighborhood, which is not part of the Intervention Area. Domestic Assault Arrests

54. Successes and Challenges What�s worked? Team work and Interdepartmental approach Confirmation of Intervention Area as needing attention Establishment of a baseline for future improvements Data to generate grant funds Better understanding of neighborhood conditions Information for targeted human service strategies Part of national trend toward using visual data for responsive and accountable service delivery. What hasn�t worked? Limited staff and infrastructure Slow pace of data collection Dependence on annual data collection rather than ongoing assessment Uneven quality of data between departments Lack of integrated data system causes duplication and piecemeal collection of data Limited data analysis to date
