Limitations of This Project

The no space for community project was designed to engage various communities on the question of whether or not they used faith buildings (as well as why and how) as part of a community-based research project.The survey process was an initial foray into exploring the relationship between faith buildings and their importance for local communities, and as such has opened up a set of issues, questions and themes that need to be explored further.
The data presented in this story, does not necessarily reflect the current, changing demographics of many rural communities. Overall, there has been a shift in the demographics of rural communities as more people migrate away from cities. However, Huron County's demographic has not significantly changed over the last 20+ years, thus we have confidence in the data presented.
We also note the mapped data may not show a complete picture of all faith community buildings and nonprofit community organizations currently active within Huron County.
