To respond effectively to community needs, we need up-to-date information using data that accurately reflects the local population. In 2019, partners for the Inland Northwest Insights initiative sponsored a comprehensive community survey that will provide timely information on community needs in the Palouse, Lewis Clark Valley and North Central Idaho.
Questions on the community survey cover the following topics: economic and employment status, health and well-being, need for services, housing, food access and more. Download a copy of the survey to review the questionnaire and learn more.
