 The
Baltimore Neighborhood Indicators Alliance
(BNIA) is a research organization
located within the
Jacob France Institute that is supported and affiliated with a diverse
group of Foundations, City agencies, and community groups committed to
promoting, supporting and helping people make better decisions using
accurate, reliable, and accessible data and indicators to improve the
quality of life in Baltimore City neighborhoods. BNIA designed its core
functions based on the knowledge that Baltimore needed a common way of
understanding how our neighborhoods and overall quality of life are
changing over time.
A core function of BNIA is to maintain, develop, and
track the Vital Signs. The Vital Signs
are a series of outcome-oriented indicators that “take the pulse” of
Baltimore’s neighborhoods to measure progress towards a shared vision
for strong neighborhoods, improved quality of life, and a thriving city
over time. BNIA tracks the Vital Signs each year,
and helps groups and individuals use these indicators to enhance their
work towards long term change. To learn more about BNIA see our
report to the Baltimore Community entitled
BNIA at 5.
