Theme Score: 50.6

For a city to thrive, it is essential that neighborhoods are safe and accessible, and that residents have the opportunity to access city services and hold the city government accountable. Oakland residents face disparities based on where they live in the city, with majority non-White neighborhoods faring worse than majority White neighborhoods. Neighborhood differences rooted in historical segregation result in disparate outcomes for people of color, especially African American and Latino residents. 
Neighborhood and Civic Life scored the highest, indicating the most equity, compared to the other Themes in the Oakland Equity Indicators framework.
