Can a map like this (map) help crack open a problem, the persistence of neighborhood disadvantage, that has been resistant to government interventions and good intentions for years? The research has shown that where children live matters deeply in whether they prosper as adults.
On Monday, Oct 8 the Census Bureau, in collaboration with researchers at Harvard and Brown, published nationwide data that will make it possible to pinpoint — down to the census tract, a level relevant to individual families — where children of all backgrounds have the best shot at getting ahead.
Our 45402 zip code is pictured and indicates children growing up here will earn about $20k annually….by building character and connecting community here at the Dakota Center we push back on this each and every day. Data points are great but the nurturing of the human spirit to fulfill its potential is what transforms data into designed destiny.
