The Essex County Community Foundation created Impact Essex County to put a spotlight on the pressing problems present, but not always seen, in the community. Essex, just north of Boston, is generally known as a well-to-do county and has some very wealthy areas but is also the home of troubled small cities such as Lynn and Lawrence. The Community Foundation turned to community indicators to help tell the story to the broader community of those disparities and the problems that were out of the view of many. The Data Stories feature looked at issues across indicators and topics to try to highlight the most pressing issues facing the community, such as opioid addiction, affordable housing and transportation. These provided some initial focus areas for the Impact Essex County Advisory Council to discuss further as it worked to prioritize issues for action.
