Racial Disparity Metrics

john a. powell

Led by Professor john a. powell, UC Berkeley’s Othering and Belonging Institute created a new Racial Disparities Dashboard that tracks changes from 1970 to 2020 in the U.S. across 15 categories, from voting and poverty rates to life expectancy and median home value. Providing data and noting areas of progress and regress, the project examines gaps between Black and White Americans and hopes to expand to include more races in future iterations.
