This tool is the 'Inclusive Growth Dashboard' by the Greater Washington Partnership.
NPR summarized the tool as follows:
"Greater Washington Partnership's inclusive growth dashboard tool is designed to highlight the racial wealth gaps in the region, analyze what drives those inequities, and provide policy recommendations for both lawmakers and local business leaders. Compiled using publicly available data, the new tracker shows that the D.C. area's economy — while one of the wealthiest in the U.S. — has deep racial gaps."

From Will, QUOTE: I thought as we teach our students about the area, these stats may come in handy as we also offer the overwhelming anecdotal evidence we see and hear from partners every day about racial inequity in D.C.. As D.C. Fiscal Policy Institute Elianna Goldin says, '"I think there's always a tension when advocates come in and say 'this is my lived experience, I experienced inequality, or inequities, or food apartheid in this way.' We shouldn't need to get exact numbers in order to be able to back up the reality of those experiences... [but] unfortunately numbers make things more legible and more convincing to decision makers, and so I think the more that stuff can be accessible to folks to use, the better," she says.
