The Racial Equity Index

The Racial Equity Index is a tool designed to measure and analyze disparities in various areas, such as health, education, income, and housing, among different racial and ethnic groups. It helps identify inequalities and track progress toward racial equity by using data to highlight where gaps exist between groups. Policymakers, advocates, and organizations can use this index to inform decisions, allocate resources more effectively, and implement strategies aimed at reducing these disparities and promoting fairness in society. Ultimately, it serves as a guide for creating more equitable communities.
