The Potential and the Way Forward 409 needed technical capacity and then charge it with developing recurrently updated data systems, applications, and processes necessary to encourage productive use of the data. The civic leaders must begin with the understanding that their goal is to build capacity that will be permanent. The selected institutions must regularly prove their worth to continue to receive support. NNIP experience offers a variety of models as to how this goal can be accomplished in differing civic environments. Although accomplishment at the local level is the ultimate goal, we recognize that the needed improvements will also require the development of a national support system for this field. We do not offer a precise plan for how this system should be built, but suggest that it should be developed by a coalition of representatives of the federal government, national nonprofit organizations, and national networks that have a strong interest in effective local governance. Priority for using data to address the problems of low-income neighborhoods in an inclusive manner should be a part of its mission statement. The support system would provide (or arrange for) services in a number of areas based on the coalition’s assessment of priorities. Clearly, more effective use of data in local decisionmaking will not be sufficient to fully address poverty and the other major social problems of our time; such results will surely depend on fundamental changes to socioeconomic structures and policies. Nonetheless, the public and policymakers alike dramatically underestimate the scope and importance of local-level governance decisions to national well-being. Effective use of data can markedly improve the quality of those decisions. There may be few investments that offer a higher payoff than resources devoted to expanding data capacity in local communities throughout America. Notes 1. It should be noted, however, that NNIP partners are typically located in larger metropolitan areas, so their influence may be greater than their fraction of the number of metro areas might seem to imply. Metropolitan areas with NNIP partners in 2012 had a total population of 119 million (2010 census), more than one-third of the total US population. 2. For additional information on the Utah Community Data Project, see http:// www.ucdp.utah.edu/. 3. The need for such coordination and possible means of achieving it are discussed in a recent review of the overall data environment in Chicago (Pettit and Kingsley 2013).
