- Measuring Productivity: A recent report from The American Growth Project ranked the economic productivity (the level of income generated by a given amount of labor) of cities across the country. 2022's top performers include San Francisco, Seattle, New York and Houston while cities like New Orleans, Pittsburgh and Salt Lake City made the largest jump in productivity.
- Shifting Populations: Mixed-race neighborhoods have become more common according to a recent Washington Post article that dives headfirst into this illuminating data from the 2020 Census. Nearly 56 percent of White Americans now live in mixed neighborhoods, with no demographic majority.
- Targeted Data: For the first time, the White House and the Office of National Drug Control Policy have launched a national data dashboard that tracks the rate of nonfatal opioid overdoses across the country, which health experts say will help accurately target resources to areas hit hard by the opioid epidemic.
