Opportunity Mapping

“Opportunity mapping is a research tool used to understand the dynamics of ‘opportunity’ within metropolitan areas. The purpose of opportunity mapping is to illustrate where opportunity rich communities exist (and assess who has access to these communities) and to understand what needs to be remedied in opportunity poor communities. Opportunity mapping builds upon the rich history of using neighborhood based information and mapping to understand the challenges impacting our neighborhoods.”     – Kirwan Institute for the Study of Race and Ethnicity​
