Here on Community Commons, you can find thousands of curated tools, resources, data, and stories, and hundreds of new resources are added each month! We looked at the analytics to see what you—our users—were most interested in throughout 2021, and have rounded up some of the most popular content on Community Commons below.


A few key themes stood out. Not surprisingly, users continue to seek out data tools to help inform data-driven community change work, as well as measure well-being efforts and track progress.

In Common Newsletter

We re-launched our bi-monthly newsletter towards the end of 2021, and renamed it In Common because while those who leverage Community Commons come from many different backgrounds, areas of focus, and professions, there's one thing we all have in common: we are change-makers working to advance equitable community well-being. We are ready to see change, take action, prioritize equity, and make data-driven decisions that acknowledge issues as part of larger systems we have capacity to change. The name In Common centers these critically important aspects of our work that we are share together. Take a look at our newsletter archives and, if you haven't yet, subscribe below!
