This fact-based exploration of how children and their communities across California are doing is a must-read for policymakers, business leaders, philanthropists and anyone who cares about our future. I urge my colleagues, and everyone concerned with California’s future, to use A Portrait of California 2014–2015 to inform our work in the coming years. – Toni G. Atkins, Speaker of the California State Assembly

We’re moving from numbers to knowledge to wisdom. A Portrait of Marin took us to the next level. When governments take the Human Development Index as the most important indicator of performance, you begin to see results. – Omar Carrera, Associate Executive Director, Canal Alliance, Marin County

I use Measure of America’s data for personal use – I just like to discuss these things with friends. People are always making claims about this state or that state without any data to back up their statements. I like to have facts. – Staff Sergeant Preston Johnson, U.S. Air Force

Bravo to the Measure of America team for another breakthrough volume. No other publication comes close to this one in documenting and explaining America’s disparate socioeconomic realities, especially the vast differences across regions and social groups. – Jeffrey D. Sachs, Director of the Earth Institute at Columbia University and Special Advisor to UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-Moon
