What makes a place truly vibrant?

It’s more than just attractions and landmarks—it’s the people, creativity, and cultural energy that shape its identity.

The Community Vibe Index (CVI) is a dynamic, cultural data tool designed to measure, benchmark, and elevate the creative pulse of cities. CVI helps destinations, policymakers, and cultural leaders understand their community’s creative ecosystem, identifying opportunities to support local talent, attract visitors, and drive economic growth.

Six things CVI can help you do:

  • Gain data-driven insights into how your city or destination supports creative industries, cultural experiences, and local talent.

  • Compare your destination’s creative energy, cultural vibrancy, and community engagement against others to identify strengths and gaps.

  • Showcase your city's creative ecosystem to attract entrepreneurs, artists, and businesses seeking dynamic places to thrive.

  • Use CVI insights to shape messaging, branding, and storytelling that authentically reflects your community’s unique vibe.

  • Identify ways to create more engaging, inclusive, and culturally rich experiences that benefit both locals and visitors.

  • Leverage data to advocate for investments, policies, and programs that support sustainable, community-driven creative growth

The Community Vibe Index uncovers the essence of a place’s cultural DNA, spotlighting creative assets and experiences that make destinations irreplaceable.
