A Research & Policy Navigator for Racial Wealth Equity
Explore why wealth gaps persist between racial and ethnic groups in your state and how to tackle inequality locally through evidence-based policies.
Wealth Inequality in the U.S.
The stark wealth disparities between racial and ethnic groups have generational consequences for the economic stability and mobility of communities of color.
Entrenched systemic barriers perpetuate this wealth divide, demanding comprehensive, data-driven policy solutions tailored to each state’s specific challenges.
But in order to make fully informed decisions, legislators, policymakers, and other advocates for financial equity must first understand the causes of ethno-racial wealth gaps in their state.
Compass holistically analyzes each state’s wealth divide through a framework that exposes the complex interplay of assets, debts, income, and expenses, each influenced by its unique set of underlying drivers.
