This episode of LeverAGE explores how states are using interactive aging data dashboards to turn Multisector Plans for Aging (MPAs) into measurable, trackable policy action. Drawing from emerging examples in California, Colorado, Maryland, North Carolina, and Tennessee, the discussion highlights how dashboards translate complex demographic, economic, and health data into tools that support planning, transparency, and accountability. The conversation examines how these platforms track indicators related to economic security, health and well-being, housing, caregiving, transportation and long-term services while enabling policymakers and communities to identify disparities and monitor progress over time. It also considers the growing role of West Health’s National Aging Readiness Dashboard in providing a cross-state lens on aging readiness and helping states benchmark their progress as they prepare for rapidly aging populations.
