Matt Martin, senior researcher at the Kirwan Institute for Race and Ethnicity at Ohio State University, talked about the Opportunity Index and how mapping the changing landscape of opportunity can contribute to equity and sustainability. He emphasized it’s more complex than just mapping poverty and income.
“We know that there are disparities that run deep and are historic, and that to boil it down and simplify it into one indicator is just not possible,” he said.
He said opportunity is made possible through transportation, housing, employment, education, health and safety.
