The Urban Institute has pilot tested "community scorecards" consisting of a standard set of key indicators, ranging from economics to education to accessibility, that can be used for virtually any U.S. city. For the pilot studies described in this report, Fannie Mae Partnership Offices used the scorecards to evaluate 124 indicators in three pilot cities. This report explains the scorecard concept, discusses how the idea was extended and applied for pilot testing, and draws conclusions about how Fannie Mae might best follow up on what has been learned.
