To further broaden understanding of equity in communities across the country, the U.S. Census Bureau’s Community Resilience Estimates (CRE) program just released a new data product: CRE for Equity.
The tool includes a new dashboard and data that helps users understand their communities’ social vulnerability and equity.
The new dataset delivers information about residents (anyone who lives in a community) — like their internet access and health insurance coverage among others.
The data provide context for the topics of social vulnerability and equity by providing data about different communities and how they compare to the national average.
