Analyze Dallas is a project of the Foundation for Community Empowerment (FCE). FCE, a 501(c)3, was founded in 1995 by J. McDonald "Don" Williams, Chairman Emeritus of the Trammell Crow Company, and is a catalyst for the revitalization of low-income neighborhoods in Dallas through the empowerment of individuals, community and faith-based organizations and entire communities. FCE seeks to build bridges of opportunity, and to foster relationships where investments of money, time, people, and resources should be made.
FCE is one of the lead partners in the Dallas Indicators project which was designed to serve as a one-stop shop for fact-based data on the Dallas Region that is presented in a user-friendly and easy access format. Understanding the importance to our region of having a healthy center city, and understanding that the health of our city will largely be determined by the health of the communities in which our lowest income residents live, FCE created Analyze Dallas to provide detailed data on areas within the city of Dallas.
Because the key to creating long-term sustainable change must come from within the communities themselves, FCE seeks to equip the residents of our city to make their own fact-based decisions regarding the rebuilding and sustaining of thriving neighborhoods.
Analyze Dallas (and the Dallas Indicators) seeks to democratize information by making it widely available and understandable to non-statisticians, so that it becomes a catalyst towards real progress. It anticipates that after measurement, comes impact.
