Kids Count

In Washington, D.C., a program called DC Action for Children developed an interactive map for exploring the distribution of resources and the outcomes for children's well-being across the city. These efforts, while more targeted in their goals, provide examples of diverse approaches available to cities as they plan to collect data and report on indicators of social equity. The indicators include neighborhood demographics, employment, poverty, healthcare access, school quality, crime, public assistance, housing, as well as access to neighborhood staples such as parks, community centers, libraries, or grocery stores.
