Measuring Opportunity in New Orleans Website

February 2018

The Cowen Institute at Tulane University has released Measuring Opportunity in New Orleans, a guide and interactive website that is the fourth in the Institute’s series of data guides on opportunity youth, the term used to describe residents between the ages of 16 and 24 who are neither in school nor working.

Measuring Opportunity in New Orleans provides tools that the user can configure to gain insight not only into Orleans Parish but any parish in the Greater New Orleans area. The website also includes policy recommendations for increasing New Orleans youth’s access to transit and job opportunities.
