In an effort to fix social and health inequities revealed and worsened by the COVID-19 pandemic, a local nonprofit has partnered with Orange County to develop a map equity tool that shows which cities and neighborhoods are the most in need.
In an effort to fix social and health inequities revealed and worsened by the COVID-19 pandemic, a nonprofit organization has partnered with Orange County to develop a map equity tool that shows which cities and neighborhoods are the most in need.
The data could possibly be used to help advance housing affordability and help alleviate homelessness, as well as close education gaps for children. Kalvoda said the map also empowers residents with the information they need to better advocate for change in their neighborhoods. The public can use the data on the website to validate their advocacy, she said.
The data in the map and index come from various national, state and local sources provided by different Orange County agencies and nonprofits, the CDC, the U.S. census and others. Kalvoda said Advance O.C. created the idea for the map, then worked with the nonprofit Social Progress Imperative to help gather and analyze the data.
