Key Trends

Addressing racial inequity is essential to improving quality of life for all and requires attention on the national, state, and local level. For our region, we examine a wide range of indicators that highlight racial and ethnic disparities in key indicators, spanning Community Life, Employment & Workforce, Health & Wellbeing and other areas.

While racial disparities exist on a state and national level, it is important to understand how structural inequity impact residents of Worcester County. While each indicator is illuminating and significant on its own, examining the indicators as a group tells a broader narrative about the effects of systemic racism. The differences we see in critical outcomes such as education achievement and homeownership can be traced back through our history in the United States of building systems and policies that oppress and harm Black, Latino, indigenous and other peoples.

These policies and systems, which have had compounding negative effects on people throughout generations, include housing policies such as redlining, employment discrimination, unequal access to opportunities to build wealth, education systems that fail to equitably serve all populations, inadequate health care delivery, and unjust policies and practices in policing and criminal justice leading to inequitable rates of incarceration.

We invite you to explore the data in this section in the context of the structural and systemic racism that underlies these disparities.
