The Metro Monitor examines economic performance across five broad categories: growth, prosperity, overall inclusion, racial inclusion, and geographic inclusion. Each category is measured using three standardized indicators, such as employment rate, earnings, and poverty. This analysis examines trends across those indicators between 2012 and 2022.

In the following interactives, local decisionmakers can view economic performance data on their individual places in comparison with other metro areas. Read the full analysis »
