What Aggregated Metrics Miss: Resident-Documented Risk and Resilience in Indianapolis Eastside Communities
What does resilience look like in historically disinvested neighborhoods? Not absent, not abundant—unevenly distributed. In this community-based participatory study, Indianapolis Eastside residents documented 70 sites, surfacing what aggregated metrics miss: resilience and risk coexisting within the same blocks, distinguished not by the presence of assets but by the presence of sustained stewardship—or its absence, what one participant termed “unfinished intentions.” Join me to discuss how resident-generated evidence can reshape resilience policy.
