WHY A REGIONAL NETWORK?
DATA DRIVEN
Cities with declining population 1960 to 1980(29 of the 50 largest cities saw a mid-20th Century population decline)
Of the 29 declining cities, 14 rebounded with an increase in population 1980 to 2013
Here are the cities that rebounded with an increase in the immigrant population
Here are the cities that rebounded without an increase in immigrant
population
There are none
The only cities that rebounded from mid-20th century population loss did so with a net increase in immigrant population.
This doesn’t prove that immigrants cause growth. It may also be that immigrants are drawn to growth.
But it your city’s plan is to grow without immigrants, it is useful to keep in mind that there are no examples of that among major cities in the United States over the past four decades.

National Equity AtlasData to Advance Equitable GrowthOctober 7, 2016
The National Equity Atlas is a comprehensive resource for data to track, measure, and make the case for inclusive growth in America’s cities, regions, states, and nationwide.
• Produced by PolicyLink and the USC Program for Environmental and Regional Equity (PERE)
• A tool to help communities understand changing demographics and how well they are doing on a series of equity indicators
National Equity Atlas
What is an equitable region?
Regions are equitable with all residents – regardless of their race/ethnicity, nativity, gender, or neighborhood of residence – are fully able to participate in the region’s economic vitality, contribute to the region’s readiness for the future, and connect to the region’s assets and resources.
Immigrant Integration is…
improved economic mobility for,enhanced civic participation by,and receiving society openness to,
immigrants.
• Immigrants are drivers of population growth and economic prosperity
• But there are barriers to full economic and civic participation
• Removing barriers will benefit both immigrants and U.S.-born
Why does it matter?

New research: Inequity threatens economic growth
“As an economist, I worry that these inequities pose a serious threat to future economic growth... As people of color become a majority of the population, the failure to end their economic exclusion means a failure of the American economy.”
“IMF study finds inequality is
damaging to economic growth”
