The Future
The Racial Equity Profile is only the first step.
What happens next is up to us.
Build on the baseline.
This data is vital, but it is only a start. We need consistent collection of these indicators to make sure we are moving Lancaster County forward. We need our community leaders, elected officials, and more to read the profile, and continue to collect this data to make sure we’re meeting the mark.
Keep asking questions.
The Racial Equity Profile is comprehensive, but it is far from complete. We want to hear from you about the questions that you have about this data; what speaks to you, what possibilities excite you, so we can continue to uplift, improve, and clarify to create systemic change in all the areas covered in the report.
Share your story.
In addition to census data, personal interviews from community members all across Lancaster County helped inform this report. We want to continue to gather stories and lived experience around these indicators to help uplift the opportunities that exist in our community.
