Pittsburgh is a city of contradictions when it comes to race relations.
More than 1.5 million residents fled the Bay Area between 2010 and 2016 due in part to the rising cost-of-living, including San Joseans who are increasingly forced out.
Angela Glover Blackwell, Founder in Residence of PolicyLink, started the organization in 1999 with a mission of advancing racial and economic equity for all.
A cooperative effort between the San Francisco Foundation, PolicyLink, and the USC Program for Environmental and Regional Equity, the Bay Area Equity Atlas went online in June 2019, raising the level of Internet exposures to the dynamics of inequality, gentrification, and development at work in one of the country's most hosting impacted regions. The interactive website allows users to explore data on critical measures connected to regional equity like housing burden, market rent, and gentrification risk.
