The Orange Dot Report represents the continuation of local progress toward a more fully and equitable thriving region.
The report provides economic indicators describing the local income deficit—the gap between what families receive as income and what they need to earn to be self-sufficient. Since 2011, the Orange Dot Report has served as a central resource for the community and shared the data needed to develop strategies for creating pathways to self-sufficiency for families in the region.
In 2022, the Equity Center's Equitable Analysis team began a partnership with Network2Work at Piedmont Valley Community College to complete the regular updates of the Orange Dot Report. See the History of the Network2Work@PVCC program for the full history of the Orange Dot Report.
