ASPIRE houses many social and health indicators, which are data that help us understand a larger concept or initiative, that can be broadly defined as the specific rate, percentage, or count for counties in Colorado as well as state data to allow for comparison. Collection and interpretation of this data can be used to monitor the effect of community-level work and be useful in needs assessment work to determine your county’s needs.

The resource section of the database provides information on the funding dollar amounts available to a county to address particular issues. The funding sources included in the system reflect major Colorado state departments and some private foundation grants.
