Opportunity Atlas

The Opportunity Atlas is a research tool created by economists to explore how a person's environment influences their future success. It uses data to show how children from different neighborhoods in the United States fare in terms of income, education, and other life outcomes as adults. By mapping these opportunities, the Atlas highlights areas where children have a higher or lower likelihood of achieving economic success based on their ZIP codes. This helps policymakers, educators, and communities understand the impact of place on opportunity and can inform efforts to improve life outcomes for children.
