Economic Mobility Dashboard
A starting configuration for the Economic Mobility Dashboard: earnings, employment access, education, housing stability and transportation, by county and tract. The indicator set is agreed with ARC in the Phase 3 design workshop and edited here without code.
Regional overview
Eleven counties combined. Counts are summed; shares are recomputed from counts; medians are the median of county medians.
Progress toward goals
Each goal records a baseline, a target, the current value and its source. Targets shown here are illustrative placeholders until the adopted goals are entered in the staff workspace.
