Racial Disparities Dashboard

An online dashboard displaying disparities between people in the U.S. who are identified as being either Black or white (using the specific racist categories peculiar to the U.S. settler-colonial form of division.)

The Othering and Belonging Institute is pleased to present the thoroughly revised Racial Disparities Dashboard, and our expanding snapshot. A racial disparity is defined as a persistent difference in outcomes or performance between racial groups.

An easily understood example is the racial wealth gap or the racial disparity in maternal mortality, noted below. This project is designed to be an open resource repository on racial disparities in American society that are important, vital, and measurable. We have nearly 80 different indicators with measured disparities between Black and white [U.S.] Americans in our table below. We have included almost every disparity that we could find which is nationally reported, for which there is recent and apparently reliable data. Over time, we will add more data and disparity figures to this dashboard as we uncover and catalog it for your reference.
