EQUITY NYC
EquityNYC reports the status of racial and social equity in New York City and the City’s work to address disparities. It visualizes and contextualizes 45 indicators (traditionally known as “Social Indicators”) across eight domains as well as five Citywide Equity Metrics (CEM) that track and report who the City serves, where services are located, who the City employs, who receives City contracts, and how the City promotes equity internally.
EquityNYC reflects the City’s commitment to transparency and accountability. Reporting on this data is Charter-mandated and further described in Executive Order 45. The data presented on the site are also available via NYC Open Data.
