EquityNYC

EquityNYC reports the status of racial and social equity in New York City and the City’s work to address disparities.

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.
