The 2020 NH Civic Health Index

The 2020 New Hampshire Civic Health Index draws on data available from the most recent U.S. Census Bureau Current Population Survey supplements on voting and volunteering and civic engagement. Data analysis for these sources was provided by the National Conference on Citizenship, our partner in the production and design of this Index, and additional data from the UNH Granite State Poll (October, 2019) and the recent publication by the Carsey School of Public Policy, What is New Hampshire?, as well as the November, 2019 Carsey School Brief, New Hampshire Demographic Trends in an Era of Economic Turbulence.

Current sections include: Civic Awareness and Engagement, Connecting in Community, and Volunteering and Giving.
