Community Ties is an Urban Institute study funded by the Knight Foundation to explore a key question: What attaches people to the place where they live? To understand, the Knight Foundation surveyed over 13,000 Americans living in metro areas across the US and in the 26 communities where they work. Fathom was tasked with designing a mircosite to present this survey data in a useful way, which came to include a walkthrough of key findings as well as an explorative interactive section where users can dig into the data themselves.
