The Opportunity Youth Forum Common Measures are a set of four metrics to assess the overall rates of young adults who are out of school and out of work for unique geographic areas, as well as the rates of young adults not participating in high school, postsecondary education, and the workforce annually at the population level using the US Census Bureau’s American Community Survey. The Common Measures provide a unique annual look into our community’s opportunity youth data and help to track progress and inform strategies.
