You can use data to look at demographics, monitor changing ideas and values, and spot challenges, as well as opportunities.
It’s important to understand that while it is much easier to collect data today, what you do with it is what really matters. Data can help with long-term planning. For example, understanding the people who are in your communities, including who moved into the area in recent years. These are potential supporters!
