Our Favorite Equity Data Tools

Inequality impacts all of us, with some groups bearing a much heavier burden than others. The resources required for a healthy life are not distributed equally within or between communities. Efforts to advance equity are underway across the United States, but to address such problems we need to really understand the issues and look for long-term solutions.

Equity is a core value here at Community Commons. We believe that through data we can better understand our community conditions and opportunities to advance equity. Here are a few of our favorite equity data tools.
