Race-Ethnicity Community Disparities Revealed

In order to gauge the severity of the disparities that exist in our community, 23 indicators on this site are broken down by race/ethnicity.  As part of the YWCA Stand Against Racism, twelve of these indicators, which follow the life-cycle of a person from infancy to homeownership, have been compiled into this report.

The findings will be shared in several events connected with the Stand Against Racism, as ACT Rochester strives to bring this important issue further to the forefront of community conversation.
