About

  The Long Island Index is a project that gathers and publishes data on the Long Island region.  Our operating principle is: “Good information presented in a neutral manner can move policy.”

The Index does not advocate specific policies.  Instead, our goal is to be a catalyst for action, by engaging the community in thinking about our region and its future.

Specifically, the Index seeks to:

• Measure where we are and show trends over time
• Encourage regional thinking
• Compare our situation with other similar regions
• Increase awareness of issues and an understanding of their interrelatedness
• Inspire Long Islanders to work together in new ways to achieve shared goals

The governing board of the Long Island Index is the Advisory Committee, composed of leaders from Long Island’s business, labor, academic and nonprofit sectors.

The Rauch  Foundation acts as the convener of the Advisory Committee and the financial underwriter of the project.
