What We Do

Root Analytics is strategic partner for organizations that serve people and places.


We help communities understand what’s working, what’s not, and what comes next—translating data into insight, and insight into durable systems for equity and resilience.

About Root Analytics

Root Analytics partners with communities to build data-driven systems for good.


Our work blends expertise in public policy, social science, and data engineering with years of front-line experience in community programs. We work across sectors and scales—from small nonprofits to large public systems—helping each partner grow their capacity for insight and action.

Root’s stakeholders come from backgrounds in government, education, social services, and philanthropy. Together, we believe data should be an act of care.
