Hispanic Well Being Index
Our proprietary Hispanic Well-Being Index tracks forty (40)variables covering income, wealth, employment and health regarding our regional Latino population and compares them to the same data for the top 50 metros. Through analysis, we create a vision of what is possible as well as a roadmap for how to get there that we share with the broader Milwaukee community. Our next calculation will come out in 1st quarter of 2024 and reflect Latino outcomes with post-pandemic data. Grounding all of our collective Milwaukee with data allows us to establish and spread practices that accelerate better outcomes and is a more responsible and effective use of resources.
