Revitalization of natural capital amenities at the Great Lakes waterfront can result from sediment remediation, habitat restoration, climate resilience projects, brownfield reuse, economic redevelopment and other efforts. Practical indicators are needed to assess the cultural, health, and socioeconomic benefits of these investments. We compiled U.S. census-tract scale data for five Great Lakes communities: Duluth/Superior, Green Bay, Milwaukee, Chicago, and Cleveland. We downloaded data from the US Census Bureau, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Environmental Protection Agency, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, and non-governmental organizations. We compiled a final set of 19 human well-being (HWB) metrics and 26 metrics representing attributes of natural and seminatural amenities (natural capital). We rated the reliability of metrics according to their consistency of correlations with metrics of the other type (HWB vs. natural capital) at the census-tract scale, how often they were correlated in the expected direction, strength of correlations, and other attributes. Among the highest rated HWB indicators were measures of mean health, mental health, home ownership, home value, life success, and educational attainment. Highest rated natural capital metrics included tree cover and impervious surface metrics, walkability, density of recreational amenities, and shoreline type. Two sociodemographic covariates, household income and population density, had a strong influence on the strength of associations between HWB and natural capital and must be included in any assessment of change in HWB benefits at the waterfront. Our findings are a starting point for applying already available HWB and natural capital indicators in a waterfront revitalization context.

五大湖滨水区自然资本设施的振兴可以通过沉积物修复、栖息地恢复、气候适应项目、棕地再利用、经济再开发和其他努力来实现。需要实用指标来评估这些投资的文化、健康和社会经济效益。我们编制了五个五大湖社区的美国人口普查区规模数据：德卢斯/苏必利尔、绿湾、密尔沃基、芝加哥和克利夫兰。我们从美国人口普查局、疾病控制与预防中心、环境保护局、国家海洋和大气管理局以及非政府组织下载了数据。我们编制了最终的 19 个人类福祉 (HWB) 指标和 26 个代表自然和半自然便利设施（自然资本）属性的指标。我们根据人口普查范围内其他类型指标（HWB 与自然资本）的相关一致性、它们在预期方向上的相关频率、相关强度和其他属性来评估指标的可靠性。评价最高的 HWB 指标包括平均健康状况、心理健康、房屋所有权、房屋价值、生活成功和教育程度。评价最高的自然资本指标包括树木覆盖率和不透水表面指标、步行性、娱乐设施密度和海岸线类型。家庭收入和人口密度这两个社会人口协变量对 HWB 与自然资本之间的关联强度有很大影响，必须纳入对滨水区 HWB 福利变化的任何评估中。我们的研究结果是在滨水区复兴背景下应用现有的 HWB 和自然资本指标的起点。
