Strengths
The CCF approach offers a way to analyze community characteristics that are all instrumental in creating a sound community..
CCF is not a community process, but rather provides a philosophy of community change that may inform any number of on-the-ground processes and initiatives.
The academic nature of the CCF approach can improve the efficiency and effectiveness of processes that lack strong analysis and evaluation components.
Limitations
The concept of CCF can be complex and difficult to explain.
CCF does not lend itself well to participatory planning processes; it is best used by outside organizations interested in tracking or studying community change.
