About the Equity Counts Data Center
Pillars of Equity
What Is Equity, and Why Does It Matter?
United Way Worldwide describes equity as "the intentional inclusion of everyone in society. Equity is achieved when systemic, institutional, and historical barriers based on race, gender, sexual orientation, and other identities are dismantled and no longer predict socioeconomic, education, and health outcomes."
In short, today, the opportunity to participate and prosper in American society is not the same for all. Evidence of racial and other disparities appears in numerous measures of well-being—which the Equity Counts Data Center groups under "pillars" of health, education, criminal justice, and wealth creation. The Data Center is designed to help Delawareans explore these equity pillars at the state and Zip code level—and thereby motivate and support communities toward inclusion and equity action.
