Community Assessment

The COVID-19 pandemic has shaken the world to its core, and Wright County has not been immune to the impacts. Because of the urgent and widespread needs affecting all sectors of the community, this Community Assessment update is intended to provide some initial information to describe the scope of this crisis on our community and to support the many different responses that will be required to address emerging, evolving needs. It is likely that as needs evolve, some of those needs will not be captured in this update and therefore some necessary community responses may not connect to the needs identified in this document. However, it is our hope that the information included can help shape strategies to help our entire community thrive during these unprecedented times. Please take a moment to review the information collected. Feel free to reach out to us with your questions or concerns.

The 2018 Community Assessment is a comprehensive examination of the conditions that low-income individuals face in Wright County, Minnesota. This report details the strengths, assets, needs and challenges of residents as Wright County grows in population and urbanization. The 2018 Community Assessment was produced in-house by Wright County Community Action and serves to inform both the public and community stakeholders about their communities.

To the left, you will find our 2019 update. Overall, we conduct the community assessment every 3 years, then annual update some of the more dynamic indicators. You can find the previous assessment at the bottom of this page.

This document provides a summary of externally-sourced data and a sample survey that was used in the production of the 2018 Community Assessment.
