Neighborhood Opportunity and African American Males
In conjunction with the Institute’s African American Male research initiative, an opportunity mapping analysis was conducted for several major metropolitan regions, with an emphasis on neighborhood opportunities in relation to African American males. The ongoing research initiative explored where high opportunity communities exist in seven metropolitan areas and assessed if African American males were connected (or disconnected) to those communities. To review the early results from this research initiative, please visit the following presentation:
