Overview

The Benchmarking application enables GKFF stakeholders to compare outcomes across neighborhoods, regions, and population groups. It provides a flexible framework for side-by-side comparisons, making it possible to identify gaps, track differences over time, and understand relative performance.

What You Can Do

With the Benchmarking application, you can:

• Compare Segments: Evaluate up to four neighborhoods, regions, or population groups at a time.
• Use Modules: Launch into specific areas of analysis, such as Community Financial Health, which provides a structured framework for evaluating household and community-level indicators.
• Apply Filters: Narrow results by attributes such as gender, race/ethnicity, and state.
• Analyze Insights: Review standardized indicators grouped into themes (critical, supportive, contextual).
• Interpret Scores: Use color-coded scoring to quickly identify where groups are performing well, concerning, vulnerable, or at risk.

Key Questions It Helps Answer

• How do outcomes differ between Tulsa’s focus impact neighborhoods?
• How does Tulsa compare to peer regions like Oklahoma County or other state and national averages?
• Are there meaningful differences between demographic groups within the same geography?
• Where are outcomes improving, and where do gaps persist?

Why It Matters

Benchmarking complements the Impact Tracking application, which provides a structured portfolio-level view of GKFF’s investments and KPIs. Benchmarking adds flexibility by enabling side-by-side comparisons across different regions and population segments, giving stakeholders the ability to see where disparities exist and where progress is being made.
