Statistics
The old saying, "you don't know what you don't know" is certainly applicable when it comes to rural decision-making.
In small communities, a lack of capacity can be a significant challenge, in particular in cases where there is an absence of useful, empirical data upon which appropriate decisions can be made.
We're committed to finding data of importance to rural decision-makers and making it easily accessible.
