Community Counts 2024

Accurate data is essential to help our community set priorities, track progress, formulate policy, and allocate resources. To help drive change in our area, the Community Foundation has been tracking data and publishing Community Counts since 2008. Data for the Shreveport-Bossier Metropolitan Statistical Area (MSA) is collected and tracked in six categories – Population, Economics, Human Capital, Health, Social Environment, and Physical Environment. For the Community Foundation, this data guides all that we do. We encourage all to use Community Counts to start and accelerate community discussions, as a roadmap for social capital investment, or as a call to action for philanthropy and volunteerism.

Dr. Dave Norris, Senior Vice President at Louisiana Tech University, will present this year’s data on Wednesday, September 25th at LSU Health Shreveport Center for Medical Education. The doors will open at 5:00 PM. See parking information below.
