Description: <div style="text-align:Left; font-size:12pt;"><p><span>The Equity Index is an interactive tool visually highlighting disparities in Tacoma. The 2024 iteration uses 29 data points sorted into 5 determinant categories (Accessibility, Livability, Education, Economy, 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. </span></p></div>
