Helping Local Government Associations Turn Data Into Impact

FLO Analytics is working with municipal and county associations across the country to share their data through stories and visualizations that connect with their communities. 

Collaborating with associations is rewarding: the projects we develop directly impact their members. By elevating datasets to the forefront, association staff can: 

• Promote interesting new data trends

• Encourage exploration and transparency

• Communicate compelling narratives more effectively

Our data solutions also help associations strengthen their advocacy efforts, enhance member engagement, and clearly demonstrate their value to current and prospective members. 

Association Data Projects That Drive Engagement

Recently, we worked with associations in three states on projects that had very different data at heart, yet all aimed to provide better services to their members through engaging and easily accessible data stories and dashboards.

The following examples highlight how dashboards and infographics can be tailored to fit specific goals while still delivering clarity, accessibility, and impact.

County Financial Data Dashboards for Legislative Advocacy

The Washington State Association of Counties (WSAC) had a concept for a dashboard that would provide key county financial data at a glance using a “Sankey” style chart—visualizing connections between financial categories. 

FLO organized complex financial data, incorporated WSAC’s branding, and seamlessly embedded the dashboard into their existing website. The resulting County Financial Data Explorer dashboard enables members to quickly grasp revenues and expenditures, explore financial details, and support WSAC to advocate for county funding.

Infographics That Communicate Value

For the Arizona League of Cities and Towns, FLO analysts collaborated closely with our graphic design team to create compelling narratives about the Value of the League and Arizona Housing Challenges. 

We developed professional infographics, concise and impactful stories, and engaging visuals. These resources have empowered the League to swiftly respond to information requests and strengthen their public messaging.

Interactive Dashboards for Survey Results

On the East Coast, the Florida League of Cities wanted to improve how they shared results from their annual CityStats survey. FLO developed a custom dashboard that organized responses to more than 100 questions into six interactive topic tabs.

The CityStats Survey Results dashboard turns complex survey responses into actionable insights, helping members better understand municipal trends and make informed decisions.
