The Data Dashboard for Aging:
Using Data to Drive Action

The Master Plan for Aging outlines five bold goals and twenty-three strategies to build a California for All Ages by 2030. Beginning in 2021, the goals and strategies will be powered by over 100 action-ready initiatives that have already been adopted by state agencies for implementation, in partnership with stakeholders and the Legislature. These initiatives will be continually informed by the publicly accessible, user-friendly, and routinely updated Data Dashboard for Aging , which will track progress toward the Master Plan’s targets over ten years.

The Dashboard will be regularly updated and improved to monitor progress on Master Plan priorities over the next 10 years.
