Brookings Institution
78 saves · From 2018 · Income inequality receives a good deal of attention in the media and in academic studies, but geographic inequality – the lesser-known concept that economic opportunity is tied to the place in which a person lives – is just as notable.

Policy experts, economists and anyone interested in exploring inequity through the lens of geography will find that this insightful report sheds new light on a much-debated issue.
