    • Our Culture
      Culture is a relatively new pillar in RDI’s State of the Basin well-being research. It is an area both difficult to define and understand because culture often means different things to different people. It is individual, but also collective; it is deeply personal, but also shared. Any understanding of culture involves our own sense of self and our connections to family and friends, broader ethnic and social groups, and our communities and region as a whole.

    • Our Economy
      When discussing the many factors that affect our well-being, few issues resonate as deeply with as many people as the economy. A healthy economy is indicative of a society that is using its resources efficiently and sustainably, leading to community resilience and individual well-being. Our economy considers levels of activity and diversity in regional economic sectors and workforce. Qualities of the built environments that support the region’s economy are also considered. Economic indicator reporting is a common practice in many areas of the world. Therefore, information on economic trends is generally rich and readily available. Topics discussed support local service organizations in their efforts to build a strong economy that is inclusive of all residents.

    • Our Environment
      From the quality of the air we breathe to the condition of the landscape where we live and work, we all experience the daily effects of the environment on our health and well-being. Residents of Columbia Basin Boundary communities already know we live in a beautiful part of the world, but it’s crucial, both for present and future generations, that we are aware of the state of the environment so that forthcoming policy decisions are well-informed.

    • Our Society
      There are a wide variety of dynamics that affect our social well-being, but the most consequential originate close to home. They also affect every member of our communities, from the youngest to oldest, right from the earliest stages in their development to their later years in life.
