The Saint Paul & Minnesota Foundation has released the third volume of its East Metro Pulse, a tool the Foundation uses to assess the experiences, opinions and needs of East Metro residents in areas such as community connectedness, economic opportunity, education, health, housing and transportation.

The findings of this third edition of the survey, commissioned by the Foundation and conducted by Wilder Research in the summer of 2021, are now available at the Foundation’s website. Survey results are available in an interactive format that allow users to view, filter and download results sorted by age, education level, language, race and ethnicity, gender, household income and housing status and as a comprehensive data book compiling all responses.

Additionally, the Foundation produced five special topic reports from the data, highlighting results related to COVID-19, Employment, Education, Fair Treatment and Critical Issues. These data insights reports and the full press release can be found below.
