A webinar was held on September 30 that revealed the equity data for the 100 largest cities in the United States. Many city leaders are facing new economic revivals; however this has not translated into better jobs, living wages, and ownership opportunities for Latinos and other minorities. City leaders face an urgent need to create policies and strategies to combat the deepening inequity problems.
The webinar was co-sponsored by PolicyLink and the University of Southern California (USC) Program for Environmental & Regional Equity. Understanding the state of equity in cities is key to eliminating racial and ethnic disparities. The National Equity Atlas has been expanded to include data broken up by race, nationality, and income for the 100 largest cities in America. This tool is the first of its kind and will be discussed in depth during the webinar.
The Atlas provides indicators of demographic change, racial and economic inclusion, and the economic benefits of equity for all 50 states, the 150 largest regions, and nationwide. The Atlas is available online at www.nationalequityatlas.org.
