The Equality Indicators

The Equality Indicators The Equality Indicators, a framework of the CUNY Institute for State and Local Governance (ISLG), me The Equality Indicators measures inequality levels in U.S.

and international cities. New York City was the pilot site for this tool. After an 18-month data collection and analysis process, NYC's score was released in October 2015. In October 2016 and in each year thereafter, the Equality Indicators will release a change score which will indicate whether inequalities are increasing or decreasing. To date, this is the most comprehensive tool of its kind as

it focuses on how 12 disadvantaged groups (e.g. racial minorities, LGBTQ, people with disabilities) fare in economy, education, health, housing, justice, and services.

Our Story

The Equality Indicators is a comprehensive tool developed by the CUNY Institute for State and Local Governance (ISLG) that helps cities understand and measure equality or equity in their city. It works across multiple areas (e.g., education, housing, justice) and measures the disparities faced by disadvantaged groups (those most vulnerable to inequality, such as racial and ethnic minorities, immigrants, or individuals living in poverty) across those domains on an annual basis, tracking change over time. Equality Indicators tools can be used as frameworks to support policy development, demonstrating the effectiveness of current policies and initiatives, and highlighting areas where new policies and initiatives may be needed. By making data publicly available, they increase transparency and accountability, allowing the local community an inside view into the disparities in their city and where progress is—and is not—being made.

Currently, Equality or Equity Indicators tools have been developed in six cities: Dallas, TX; New York, NY; Oakland, CA; Pittsburgh, PA; St. Louis, MO; and Tulsa, OK.
