Life in Hamilton County will be published annually so that we can keep track of how well we are doing in addressing areas that need improvement. Each section is introduced with a brief discussion of the indicators and their implications for the community. Introductions include information not covered by the indicators. This serves to put the data into a wider context and to spur further thought and discussion. Presentation of Data.
Data generally reflects conditions for Hamilton County as a whole.
This is not the case with the education indicators. In that section, data is provided for both the county system and the city system. After the merger of the two systems, these data will be combined. The topics are listed alphabetically in the index. Presented on a set of facing pages, each topic has one or more indicators which measure, or give an indication of, how well the county is progressing on that issue.
