Dear Friends:
Just over a year ago, the Price Center launched the
Neighborhood Data for Social Change platform, which provides neighborhood-level data across ten different policy areas in LA County. Thanks to the generous support of our friends and partners, NDSC has received over 100,000 page views, published 17 data stories, and hosted 19 community trainings.
As 2018 comes to an end, I want to thank you for your partnership and support of the Price Center for Social Innovation. I look forward to connecting in the new year, and working together to
develop ideas and illuminate strategies to improve the quality of life for people in low-income urban communities.
Sincerely,
|

The zip code in which one grows up is a primary determinant of life outcomes. Developing successful cradle to career pathways for families and children living in low-income communities is a critical component of the Price Center’s mission. The Price Center develops and disseminates research that explores new approaches to increasing opportunity for low-income residents through education, jobs, housing, and transportation.
This Social Innovation Summit will examine Pathways to Opportunity through the lens of research and action focused in three different areas:
Educational Attainment | Foster Youth | Re-entry & Recidivism

This data story explores how housing and cost of living are impacting workers in two of the County’s fastest growing sectors – (1) Professional, Science and Technology Services and (2) Accommodation and Food Services – and what businesses and government can do to help make Los Angeles County an affordable place to live and work.

Understanding the Link Between Neighborhoods and Schools
By Dr. Ann Owens,
Associate Director, USC Price Center for Social Innovation
|
Where a child grows up has a profound effect on her future outcomes in life. Inequality across places is a persistent feature of U.S. metropolitan areas. My research shows that over the past few decades, children have become more segregated by income across neighborhoods.
