Priority Indicators that Could Not Be Mapped

The selection of indicators for the Regional Equity Atlas 2.0 online mapping tool was a complex process because, while maps can play a powerful role in illuminating disparities, they are only able to capture some of the dimensions of regional equity. There are many important aspects of equity that are not effectively addressed through maps, either because the data is not available, not “mappable”, or because the issues are not spatial or geographic in nature.

Stakeholders across the region identified a number of indicators as priorities for the Atlas that ultimately could not be mapped. Click here for a list of these indicators.
