Data index
This index is a set of selected metrics to track change in the greater Springfield region.
Each indicator in the dashboard highlights a metric relating to the city of Springfield, the Springfield Metropolitan Statistical Area (MSA) or Greene County. The coverage region will grow as the index's database expands to collect metrics for the metropolitan area covered by Ozarks Transportation Organization (OTO).
If applicable and available, metrics will include the rate of change from the previous year.
The Peer Community Rank compares the Springfield region to our set of comparable communities, metropolitan statistical areas or counties.
The Peer Average reflects the average value of the metric as measured across our peer cities. These comparisons will be used to learn from the successes and challenges of communities facing similar circumstances.
