Conversely, people living in low-opportunity neighborhoods are marginalized and isolated with little or no access to reliable transportation and quality education in their neighborhoods, two of the most important factors for getting out of poverty. As the report revealed, the isolation from opportunity is more pronounced in communities of color.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThese maps reveal a terrain of inequality,\u201d said Albert Ruesga, president &amp; CEO of the Greater New Orleans Foundation. \u201cIt\u2019s up to all of us to use this data to change the \u2018what is\u2019 to the \u2018what should be\u2019 which is simply a decent society for all.\u201d The report measured outcomes in four domains: education, health and the environment, housing and neighborhood, and transportation and the economy.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s important to frame the data in ways that help understand the story within,&#8221; said Senior Research Analyst Matt Martin of the Kirwan Institute. &#8220;It&#8217;s up to local stakeholders to use the opportunity framework to meet two goals: to bring opportunities to deprived areas and to connect people to existing opportunities throughout the region.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The Foundation is sharing the data with local advocacy groups in housing, health, education, and transportation.
