Our focus on equity

Despite our reputation as a progressive, thriving city, Minneapolis has some of the worst racial disparities of all major cities in America.

In socio-economic indicators across the board, we see significant and persistent gaps between white residents and residents of color:

• Household income
• Poverty rates
• Educational attainment
• Home ownership
• Health outcomes

The team’s mission is to push for bold new ideas and achieve concrete results that reverse racial disparity trends. We will do this through a relentless commitment to:

• Research
• Collaboration
• Community engagement
• Project management
• Data
• Design
