How can we deploy city-wide equity metrics?
Alongside the deep expertise of the San Diego equity and data analytics teams, we’re working with groups across the city to source new ideas for how to increase equity, pilot those ideas within the city, and rigorously evaluate their ability to “move the needle” on racial disparities in service delivery, business processes, and access to public resources.
