When Governor Eric J. Holcomb shared his thoughts on how true equality and equity lead to opportunities for all, he committed that the state of Indiana would lead by example and take concrete steps to shape the change necessary to remove barriers to access and opportunity for all Hoosiers. One of those priorities was to create a public disparity data dashboard, providing Hoosiers the occasion to track the state’s progress with closing equity gaps. Since that address, Indiana’s Management Performance Hub, in partnership with agencies across state government, created the state’s Equity Data Portal. This dashboard encompasses a highlevel view of equity related to health, public safety, social services, education and workforce. The data sets come from a variety of sources each with their own nuances. As we collaborate across agencies and with Hoosier leaders, neighbors and friends throughout the state, we will continue to evaluate, adjust, expand and develop this portal to meet the needs of the public. While our work in these areas is informed by many resources in addition to the data presented here, we hope you will use this portal as a gateway to open up conversations regarding Indiana’s opportunities to provide the tools necessary for all Hoosiers to experience their best quality of life. In order to get there, let’s hold one another accountable. This is a great start.
