The Geography of Opportunity: Mapping to promote Equitable Community Development and Fair Housing in King County, WA
The following initiative assesses the “State of Opportunity” in King County, Washington.
An “opportunity mapping” analysis conducted by the Kirwan Institute, commissioned by Northwest Justice Project was made possible through a small grant funded by the Poverty and Race Research Action Council (PRRAC). The goal of the opportunity mapping initiative is to explore how low income groups and racial and ethnic populations are situated within King County’s geography of opportunity. The maps of opportunity in King County can provide a more robust evaluation of the conditions in the region’s neighborhoods and how some residents are isolated spatially from opportunity.
