Also, external (ie US Census or Washington state, as distinct from internal (collected by local agency or organization).

Informal, anecdotal, informant-based interviews

IDEAS:

Annual “White Paper” – “State of the Island”

Increased awareness

Philanthropy/Investment

Political movement

Refocus organizations’ missions

Nonpartisan – no bias from stakeholders

Perhaps based on annual survey of “indicators”
