Most business leaders are interested in promoting economic opportunity, and the just released Opportunity Index, based on 2018 data, is a great resource for information about the opportunity available in places where your company is making grants. The Opportunity Index blends multiple indicators -- from unemployment rate, wage levels and the availability of affordable housing, to rates of violent crime, pre-school enrollment and health insurance coverage – to create an overall score. You can view data at the county, state and national levels.
