THE VALUE OF CURRENT COMMUNITY SPECIFIC DATA
Historically, West Marin communities have been underrepresented in countywide assessments, resulting in needs and priorities that often do not fully reflect the unique experiences and challenges of our region. As a rural area with distinct demographics and resources, our communities require data that is both localized and current to accurately guide planning, advocacy, and action. Without this foundation, we risk missing opportunities to address critical gaps and support our community effectively. This needs assessment is a significant step toward addressing this historical gap. By surveying 500 individuals aged 50 and over, we’ve gathered valuable insights not only into the current needs of older adults but also into the emerging priorities of future generations of elders. This data equips us with the tools to plan and prioritize effectively, ensuring we can advocate for resources that truly meet our community’s needs. With specific, data-driven information, we can make a compelling case for funding and support, enabling us to better serve the San Geronimo Valley and Nicasio communities and build a future where all can thrive.
