A metro map of inclusive economies (Alan Berube, Nick Marchio, John Ng, Richard Shearer, Brookings)

Last week, with John Irons from the Rockefeller Foundation, we introduced a new framework for understanding whether an economy is inclusive—that is, whether it expands opportunities for broadly shared prosperity—and described an initial effort to test that framework with data for U.S. metropolitan areas. Using over 100 indicators, we visualized how the 100 largest metropolitan areas stacked up on five characteristics of inclusive economies the Foundation has identified: equity, participation, growth, sustainability, and stability
