[Today’s highlighted work] gave me goosebumps which you don’t normally hear about this kind of data. - David Erickson, Ph.D., @NewYorkFed

For many American families, insecurity and a sense of falling behind prevail.

We explore the notion of well being in our communities - what does it mean, how well can we understand it.

The evidence shows a pattern of unequal access. The key takeaway is a city’s score and its underlying momentum are useful additions to the policy toolkit. - Kausar Hamdani, Ph.D., @NewYorkFed

[Looking at] access to credit is a groundbreaking way of looking at what we often talk about, but have not been able to measure.

@CFEfund @urbaninstitute Cities with greater insecurity, have a greater percentage of ALICE (Asset Limited, Income Constrained, Employed) households… You probably ran into 5 ALICE people on your way here today.

@CFEfund @urbaninstitute @United4ALICE @nyulangone @RWJF [My work] has shown mortgages are harder and more expensive to get in segregated neighborhoods.

@CFEfund @urbaninstitute @United4ALICE @nyulangone @RWJF @NYUWagner Every zip code should have equal opportunities. The “rising tide” is not lifting all boats.
- Signe-Mary McKernan, Ph.D., @urbaninstitute

@CFEfund @urbaninstitute @United4ALICE @nyulangone @RWJF @NYUWagner An unfortunate reality of inequalities is that they are remarkably stable over time… This [our access to credit map] is a poverty map, a life expectancy map, a vulnerable to changes map.
- Jacob W. Faber, Ph.D, @NYUWagner

@CFEfund @urbaninstitute @United4ALICE @nyulangone @RWJF @NYUWagner It’s in the discordance that we find the most value (in the data)… Outliers are especially valuable in using trend data.
- Dr. Marc Gourevitch, @nyulangone

@CFEfund @urbaninstitute @United4ALICE @nyulangone @RWJF @NYUWagner A huge group of people are not benefiting from a good economy... If ALICE (Asset Limited, Income Constrained, Employed) is your customer, you might need to sell things in smaller sizes or with smaller fees.

@CFEfund @urbaninstitute @United4ALICE @nyulangone @RWJF @NYUWagner Cities are getting more sophisticated in how they use data… using data to improve services and work with residents.
- Amelia Erwitt, @CFEfund

@CFEfund @urbaninstitute @United4ALICE @nyulangone @RWJF @NYUWagner Data informs our programs and services… allows us to target our outreach… determines the location of our services… helps us try to identify gaps in services.
- Nicole Perry, @nycdca

@CFEfund @urbaninstitute @United4ALICE @nyulangone @RWJF @NYUWagner @NYCDCA [Student loan debt] is a game-stopping change for many… A combination of qualitative and quantitative data gives us a very good set of information to think about program design.

@CFEfund @urbaninstitute @United4ALICE @nyulangone @RWJF @NYUWagner @NYCDCA @financialclinic Rochester, NY after the Great Recession: [data at zip code level] showed the most impacted neighborhoods had 50-75% of the population as subprime borrowers.

@CFEfund @urbaninstitute @United4ALICE @nyulangone @RWJF @NYUWagner @NYCDCA @financialclinic @empirejustice You know what you know, but you need help to gather context for the data… To move from data that’s static to dynamic data requires collaboration with other institutions.

@CFEfund @urbaninstitute @United4ALICE @nyulangone @RWJF @NYUWagner @NYCDCA @financialclinic @empirejustice Within NYC, there is more than $35B in outstanding student loan debt and 1 million New Yorkers with outstanding student loan debt. Delinquency and default rates are much higher in low-income neighborhoods.
- Nicole Perry, @nycdca

@CFEfund @urbaninstitute @United4ALICE @nyulangone @RWJF @NYUWagner @NYCDCA @financialclinic @empirejustice It’s really important that we don’t just and talk about the data, but also talk about what’s happening on the ground.

@CFEfund @urbaninstitute @United4ALICE @nyulangone @RWJF @NYUWagner @NYCDCA @financialclinic @empirejustice I want people to get excited and passionate about what the data is showing… I hope when people see the inequities, it motivates us to do something different.

@CFEfund @urbaninstitute @United4ALICE @nyulangone @RWJF @NYUWagner @NYCDCA @financialclinic @empirejustice Educational institutions, nonprofits are still pillars of the community, they are resources, they can provide a stabilizing force.
