Impact MetroWest is an initiative of the Community Foundation for MetroWest to bring awareness to and drive action around the strengths and challenges facing our communities here in the MetroWest region of Greater Boston. Credible and independent data is vital to allow the entire community to learn, understand and then act together to improve the quality of life for everyone.
Over 50 indicators provide insight into the trends shaping our community through the last decade across several dimensions - the economy, education, civic engagement, our health, transportation and housing systems, and more. The data serves as a report card for the region, but also acts as a spark to drive change.
We are excited to share this data with everyone and look forward to seeing how it helps all of us better understand the quality of life in our region, how it compares with Massachusetts and the nation, and how we can work together to make it even better.

Our Regional Overview summarizes recent trends in the MetroWest region, which is bouncing back from the Covid-19 pandemic, with decreasing unemployment rates and increasing total jobs. At the same time, as inflation continues to raise the cost of living across the nation, residents of MetroWest face increasing costs of homeownership and rent and an increasing number of households are receiving public assistance. And economic inequality among racial and ethnic groups persists.
