Social Equity Analysis can be used to identify and analyze demographics, assets, conditions, and outcomes to optimize plans for community investment.
Governments across the globe struggle to ensure residents have opportunities to continue their education, secure a well-paying job, find healthy foods, access affordable health care, and locate housing options in safe neighborhoods. They recognize many face challenges due in part to systematic and structural barriers that constrain access to opportunity. Social equity aims to understand how systems negatively affect certain groups and level the playing field by making investments aligned with the severity of needs. Many governments are making a commitment to social equity and seeking interventions, or policy changes, that reduce burdens for marginalized communities, Social Equity Analysis is typically implemented by state and local governments that want to understand unique characteristics and conditions that exist in their community and how actions they are taking impact access or needs.
The Social Equity Analysis solution delivers a set of capabilities that help you understand community characteristics, analyze community conditions and actions, and generate an equity analysis index that can be used to educate internal and external stakeholders.
