Community Assessment
The Community Assessment reviews the current status of health
and human services in King County, Washington. It is intended to support
planning, alignment on community-wide goals, and action
strategies to enhance the quality of life for King County
residents.
United Way of King County is committed to changing our
community in fundamental, lasting ways. The Community Assessment
is our tool for gathering information in support of that work.

- NEW!
Basic Needs
page
tracks a set of indicators that represent the impact of
current economic conditions on people in our community.
- Key Data and Demographics section provides demographic and
other data on King County’s residents that relates to human
service provision.
- Impact Areas provide information related to each of our eight
community impact areas: Homelessness, School Readiness, Domestic
Violence and Sexual Assault, Employment and Job Training, Health
and Chemical Dependency, Older Adults, System Support and Youth
and Families.
- Subregions section provides information on demographic data
and priority issues in each of our County’s 4 subregions: North
King County, East King County, Seattle, and South King County.
- Cross-cutting Issues section provides information on poverty,
racial equity and immigration as issues that are relevant to all
areas of human service provision.
- Best and Promising Practices section provides information on
service strategies that have been demonstrated by research to be
most effective in promoting the outcomes we seek as part of our
