Community Capitals Framework model

The Community Capitals Framework model* [diagram] is the lens through which we see the assets of a community and, conversely, the deficits that may keep it from being healthy. There are seven community capitals:

• Natural Capital
• Cultural Capital
• Human Capital
• Social Capital
• Political Capital
• Financial Capital
• Built Capital

*This model was developed by Jan and Cornelia Flora while in professorship in the College of Sociology at Iowa State University.
