US Chamber of Connection Research
We lead research to illuminate where to invest and how to measure the impact of social connection in our cities.
Our first annual report reveals where everyday social connection is breaking down — and introduces a practical, data-backed blueprint for rebuilding social bonds, trust, and belonging across communities.
Annual City Reports
We partner with Murmuration to conduct annual city reports that inform their Connection Councils strategy to strengthen connection in the region.
New chapters of the Chamber of Connection begin by conducting a city report to inform their strategy and provide the insights they need to align city leadership to invest in social connection.
