About the Report: The Collin County report follows Communities Foundation of Texas’ 2018 comprehensive analysis of economic opportunity in Dallas County. The Dallas report, also conducted by Every Texan, catalyzed conversations about equity, access, and outcomes across the community. When the two organizations began working on a similar report for the Collin County community in 2019, no one could have imagined how much or how quickly things would change in just one year. The original data pulled for this report now serves as a baseline, showing the community's starting point pre-pandemic. Together with new data released since March, it is our hope that the collective data will inform policy and strategies going forward to ensure that all residents of Collin County can be healthy, well-educated, and financially secure. While it's too early to see the full impact of the pandemic on Collin County, the report provides some early economic indicators of how residents are faring in terms of employment, affected job sectors, and health insurance coverage. We believe it can be used to outline both existing strengths and opportunities for Collin County as we move forward in this new environment. Please join us on October 22nd to begin the conversation. |
