Zip codes influence child outcomes, but do not determine them. New IDEAS mapping reveals bright spots where children in high-risk areas grow up to exceed expectations. You can find these maps on our Research page, or click here for Brief 3. What explains the successes? Our annual public meeting convened local experts to explore underlying factors and see how we can use evidence from integrated data to better align research, resources, and policies. |
Equity and resilience mapping with integrated data: A diverse group of 130 early childhood experts in Miami-Dade County, from community agencies to interdisciplinary researchers and leading provider systems, convened in 2020 to review new mapping of neighborhood risks and child resilience. The new resillence measure highlighted census tracts in Little Havana and Little Haiti where children are doing better than expected. The presentation continues to be relevant as we remain focused on equity, key factors, and developing evidence to guide practices and policies.
