Our Progress
How We’re Doing
Tracking Progress. Celebrating Impact.
The IndyEast Promise Neighborhood uses data to drive action and measure meaningful change. On this page, you’ll find success stories, infographics, maps, and interactive tools that showcase the work happening across the neighborhood. From student achievement to community outcomes, the page reflects our commitment to transparency, learning, and celebrating progress toward a stronger, more equitable future.
Community Survey
The IndyEast Promise Neighborhood Community Survey is conducted periodically to help us understand how families and neighbors are experiencing life in the community. First launched in 2023, the survey is administered every one to two years, with the next rounds planned for 2025 and 2026. Participants are randomly selected to ensure a representative snapshot of the neighborhood. Feedback from the survey helps shape priorities, strengthen programs, and guide the work of the Promise. Your experiences—and your voice—help move the neighborhood forward.
