A real sample: need is not evenly spread, and Alex can show where
Your service area, turned into sourced evidence a funder can check. Two real indicators, tract by tract.
- Renter households paying over 30% of income 0.0% to 62.8% across 57 census tracts · HUD CHAS (ACS 2018–2022 based) · CHAS 2018–2022
- Households' population below the poverty line 0.2% to 15.0% across 57 census tracts · Census ACS 5-Year Estimates · ACS 5-year 2023
Small-area ACS/CDC estimates carry margins of error; read alongside the county figure, not as a precise count.
Build a statement of need in the demo
Why we price this the way we do. The organizations Hamilton County
most needs using this evidence are the ones least able to pay consultant
rates. A needs assessment should not cost a program's whole budget. So
the data is free, membership costs less than one grant-writing retainer
month, and every dollar goes back into the platform.
