one Minneapolis full indicator report one Minneapolis Dashboard OneMinneapolis Project Overview

Since "what gets measured, gets done," OneMinneapolis was created to help our community better understand, track, and improve how all of our neighbors are faring. The numbers in this report are broken out by race and ethnicity, and in some cases, home language, gender, and whether residents were born in the U.S. or abroad.

Click on the topics below for an at a glance look on how we're faring in each category. Click on the community indicator for details on each of the 24 indicators we've measured. Download a PDF version of the full report.


Range: The range between the percentage of the racial or ethnic community faring least well to that of the community faring best on each indicator. (Whites fare best on all but a few; there's great diversity among those most underserved.)
Gap: the span of the range in percentage points
Risk: the severity of the gap by size (not a measure of the impact on an individual or our community)  
Overall: the percent for all students/children/residents on each indicator 
red racial disparity of 35-100 pts 
orange disparity of 20-34 pts    
yellow disparity of 0-19 pts  
green no disparities
