The Equity Index is an interactive tool visually highlighting disparities in Tacoma. The 2020 iteration uses 32 data points sorted into 5 determinant categories ( Accessibility, Economy, Education, Livability, and Environmental Health) to determine where community members cannot access services or where services do not meet community needs. It is one of the primary tools that City staff, partners, and other decision-makers use to help ensure they make data-informed decisions to improve access to opportunities for all community members. Tacoma's original 2018 Equity Index was generated by the Kirwan Institute for the Study of Race &amp; Ethnicity for Tacoma's Office of Equity and Human Rights. Please note that while the 2018 and 2020 versions of the Equity Index are based on 2010 US Census block groups, the 2022 version is based on 2020 US Census block groups.
