Another gap that might turn up in a community inventory could be the finding that elderly persons are living longer but lacking the funds need to cover their cost of living, such as medical care, medicine, assisted living costs, and so on. The needs assessment would indicate that the community needs to find a way to support its senior citizens in a more effective manner.

This is because in a community there is no such thing as real isolation. Every segment impacts another segment. This is why the community inventory is taken—so as to identify segments that are in need that can have their needs satisfied by the assets that are held by a community in another segment.
A community inventory and needs assessment is not always about looking for problems that need fixing. It is also about looking for opportunities to just simply make things better. In other words it offers a way to reduce risk in a community.

risk-free because an experiment exposes its participants to a number of variables that can impact psychological or physical well-being. To determine if a given study is worth performing, scientists frequently conduct analyses to determine the risk/benefit ratio of a given area of research. Potential risks of research include exposure of the subjects to harmful substances or dangerous situations. For example, when testing a new drug, pharmaceutical researchers will be
