On the blog: Learning about basic needs during social distancing through 2-1-1
COVID-19 and social distancing have changed life for families across King County. How are they impacting the ability of families to meet their basic needs?
While we don’t know the full answer to that question yet, we can find helpful clues in data from 2-1-1. King County’s Crisis Connections operates the 2-1-1 line, a service that provides referrals to King County residents with critical social service needs.Looking at the number of calls for various services can help us understand what needs residents are seeking assistance with during this time. On our blog, we explore data from February to mid-April. Read about what we found here.

New Race/Ethnicity Data Available on COVID-19 Vulnerable Communities Data Tool
New race and ethnicity data are now available on the updated COVID-19 Vulnerable Communities Data Tool on Communities Count. The tool now shows the number and percent of people in each city/neighborhood by race/ethnicity. It also shows how many people of each race/ethnicity may be more vulnerable to severe illness and/or the social and economic impacts of COVID-19 due to age, health conditions, poverty, language, health care access, or homelessness. The data summary, FAQ, and PowerPoint slides have also been updated.
