Q: What is the Hispanic Well-Being Index?
-
A: The Hispanic Well-Being Index is something that we designed to be able to compare how Latinos in Milwaukee were faring versus Latinos elsewhere in the United States, and to be able to identify “top performing” Latino communities. We track the outcome of 40 different variables regarding our Latino community in the area of income, wealth, education, and health, and compare that to the outcomes for the 50 largest metros in the U.S. The Index tells us how Milwaukee Latinos compare to Latinos elsewhere. We currently are 45 out of 50 overall.
