The New Orleans Prosperity Index: Tricentennial Edition Measuring New Orleans’ Progress toward Prosperity
Author: The Data Center
Date: 2018
Abstract: As New Orleans completes her 300th year, the tricentennial is an auspicious opportunity to reflect on the city’s history. Certainly, only in the last 50 years have black New Orleanians had the possibility of becoming part of the city’s economic mainstream. The New Orleans Prosperity Index asks the question: Have black New Orleanians experienced increased economic inclusion since the end of the Civil Rights era (roughly 1968)? In addition, because many systems work together to support economic growth, The Prosperity Index examines the most up-to-date data across education, housing, health, democracy, and criminal justice to assess which systems have produced good or poor outcomes for people of color in New Orleans since 1970 (or the earliest date for which disaggregated data is available).
