Closing Equity Gaps in DC’s Wards and Neighborhoods

In an equitable DC, every resident would have the opportunity to prosper. But decades of discriminatory policies and practices have created inequities by ward, neighborhood, and race and ethnicity.

This tool shows what it would take to improve equity across wards and neighborhoods on 16 key indicators.

Users can select different areas of the District to compare or set their own goals for equity.
