Tracking Austin's "score" on the Creative Vitality Suite Index (CVI Value) is a primary measure of the sustainability of Austin's creative industry ecosystem and the sector's share of the local economy. The CVI Value determines the per-capita concentration of creativity to determine how Austin compares, creatively to the US average and other regions within the US.
The Creative Vitality Index compares the per capita concentration of creative activity in two regions. Data on creative industries, occupations, and cultural nonprofit revenues are indexed using a population-based calculation. The resulting CVI Value shows a region’s creative vitality compared to another region.
The data is calculated and prepared by the Western States Arts Federation (WESTAF) for the CVSuite.
