Connecting Community Needs with Resources
The purpose of ranking Tucson’s neighborhoods is to allow each neighborhood leader, resident, school, business, and church to identify its level of empowerment within the context of other neighborhoods.
Empowerment is the act of giving power or authority to someone or something; to authorize, especially by legal or official means. Conversely, disempowerment is the act of depriving someone or something of power and/or influence. Youth, families, and neighborhoods often experience either empowerment or disempowerment based on the amount of resources directly or indirectly available to them.
Resources of empowerment are not always tangible commodities such as money, training, or jobs readily available to youth, families, and neighborhoods, more often these resources come through the “process of access” (opportunity for attainment). Therefore, the act of empowerment or disempowerment is based on the opportunity to access needed resources and training on how to effectively utilize them.
Based on the empowerment definition above (opportunity for attainment), this ranking system is a comparison of indicators (crime, health, education and employment) between each neighborhood and how accessible resources (schools, businesses, churches, nonprofits, funders, investors, strategies, etc.) within and outside of the Tucson community are being applied to positively impact these indicators.
