2022's Most Popular Content on Community Commons


On Community Commons, you can find thousands of curated tools, resources, data, and stories. Hundreds more are added each month. In 2022 alone, we added:


Over the past year, we looked at the analytics to see what you—our users—were most interested in, and have rounded up some of the most popular content on Community Commons. A few key themes stood out. Users continue to seek out data tools to inform data-driven community change work, as well as measure well-being efforts and track progress. Resources supporting deep equity work and priority populations were also popular, as was content to support a holistic approach to community change work, like the Vital Conditions for Well-Being framework. This year, we launched a series of Health Equity Libraries on Community Commons, which provide knowledge management for large bodies of content surrounding priority populations and advancing equity.

We offer a sincere thank you to the thousands of users who have visited Community Commons over the past year, as well as our staff, fellows, interns, contributors, partners, and clients. Your support and interest makes our work possible. Please reach out to us with any feedback or to inquire about becoming a CC Contributor at [email protected]. As always, you can suggest a resource here.
