#Economic mobility drivers

Our Economic Mobility Indicators mapping tool uses local datasets to determine where marginalization may occur in core areas for our Multnomah County communities. This work brings together her commitment and priorities to increase economic mobility opportunities for East Multnomah County and the investments she's championed. Through all these variables also run threads of exclusionary policies, exposure to violence and trauma, systemic racism, and practices that have formed our built environments - also to be taken into consideration when we think about how hard it is for communities to thrive when others have a different starting point.Ĭommissioner Stegmann recently hosted a national cohort of elected leaders who are having this conversation in their own jurisdictions across the country.

#Economic mobility drivers

The drivers of economic mobility (access to services, involvement in the justice system, quality education, housing stability, workforce opportunities, and more) have very large influences across our country. But we know this is more than just income alone. Economic mobilization is the ability of an individual, family or some other group to improve (or lower) their economic status-usually measured in income. Looking at how our communities are designed, what services are available, and how well our systems work across silos can have a huge impact on the future trajectory for children and youth across Multnomah County.
