Black Wealth Data Center

The Black Wealth Data Center (BWDC) was established in response to the pressing need for reliable and accessible data on racial wealth disparities. Until now, data on this topic has been outdated, inaccessible, and lacking racial disaggregation and local-level information. This lack of comprehensive and up-to-date data has hindered the ability of practitioners, policymakers, and institutions to understand and address the root causes of racial wealth disparities effectively. The BWDC was created to fill these gaps and provide practitioners and policymakers with the necessary data to develop and implement targeted programs and policies that promote racial wealth equity.
