Improving City services through CityScore
Launched in 2016, CityScore® is a tool designed to inform the Mayor, City managers, and the public about quality of life and the performance of City government by aggregating key performance metrics into one number.
In FY19, the City will continue to develop and expand CityScore by incorporating additional metrics and identifying new opportunities to improve the quality of life for those in Boston. CityScore is also an important metric by which the City prioritizes new investments.
