Welcome
Want to learn more about ISU Extension and Outreach? You’ve come to the right place.
Iowa State University Extension and Outreach is present in every county in Iowa – all 100, in fact (Pottawattamie County has 2 offices). As part of the land grant mission, Extension and Outreach connects everyday citizens throughout Iowa with research and information from Iowa State University. Extension staff present programs and data to empower Iowans to make their own decisions for their own family and livelihood.
Did you know we have multi-million dollar impacts every year? We do! Extension takes local county tax dollars and creates the best bang for the buck to make a difference in communities.
Explore the resources below to learn more about the incredible public value of Extension. Or better yet, stop into your local extension office and talk to the staff or participants of Extension programming. You’ll see…we have Real Impact.
Indicators Program
The Iowa State University Extension and Outreach Indicators Program provides data and information for decision makers at the local, regional, and state levels.
The Data for Decision Makers are brief reports presenting a profile and snapshot of a city’s, county’s, or region’s demographic, economic, social, health, or housing characteristics. There are also Data for Decision Makers reports for the Iowa House Districts and Iowa Senate Districts. To access the information for your district, mouse over the appropriate map of the State of Iowa (Senate is on the top right and House is on the bottom left) and click. You’ll have an opportunity to enter your district number, which will generate the appropriate report.
