The Quality of Life Indicators Report for the Pikes Peak Region is an unbiased, objective compilation of facts and statistics about these and other factors that create the quality of life we enjoy in our community.  From the 132 pages of measurable data in the report, the community is able to identify trends, set priorities and make informed decisions about policies and actions that deserve investments of time, talent and resources.

Through our QLI Vision Councils, the report tracks our region's status in ten key sections of life in our community: Growing a Vibrant Economy, Promoting Social Wellbeing, Preserving the Natural Environment, Sustaining a Healthy Community, Achieving Educational Excellence, Enjoying Arts, Culture and Recreation, Moving Around Efficiently, Keeping the Community Safe, Built Environment and Fostering Community Engagement. They are the key indicators that help define our overall quality of life.

The 2011 Quality of Life Indicators report was released during a press conference held Friday, Oct. 7, 2011.  Now in its fifth year, the report presents data, or indicators, that are quantitative measures of quality of community life. This information is used by businesses, social service organizations, news media, government officials and community members to prioritize and make educated decisions regarding the investment of time, talent and resources.

“Working together, as a community of more than 600,000 citizens across the Pikes Peak region, to improve and enhance our quality of life is going to be an essential task to enable us to reach our full potential in the future.  I encourage all members of our community to read the report and explore areas where they can help us move forward and improve our quality of life…together.”
