Community Health is a composite score — a single number that summarizes the overall state of your community by combining multiple signals into one easy-to-read indicator. Instead of checking six different metrics every day, you get one score that tells you at a glance whether things are heading in the right direction.

How the score is calculated

The Community Health score is based on a weighted combination of:
SignalWeight
Member retentionHigh
Engagement rateHigh
Message activity trendMedium
Join/leave ratioMedium
Channel diversity (activity spread across channels)Low
The score ranges from 0 to 100. Higher is healthier.

Score ranges

ScoreWhat it means
80 – 100Excellent — your community is thriving
60 – 79Good — solid fundamentals with room to improve
40 – 59Fair — some areas need attention
Below 40Needs work — take action soon

What affects the score most

The two biggest drivers are retention and engagement rate. If your score is low, start there:
  • Low retention → improve onboarding, run more events, build consistency
  • Low engagement → more interactive content, giveaways, polls, games

Using the score over time

A single score on a single day is less useful than watching the trend. Track your Health score week over week:
  • Consistently rising → your efforts are working
  • Flat for weeks → you’ve plateaued — time to try something new
  • Dropping → something changed — check the Activity feed for clues
The Community Health score is a guide, not a verdict. A score of 55 in a niche, highly specialized community might actually represent very healthy engagement for that audience. Use it directionally, not as an absolute measure.
