Our Mission
Our mission is to provide easy-to-use yet methodologically sound tools for understanding well-being and opportunity in America and to stimulate fact-based dialogue about the issues we all care about.
Well-being in California is improving. But not these people, communities.
"Overall, the Golden State is seeing meaningful growth in terms of longevity, education and earnings, said Kristen Lewis, director at Measure of America...however, that progress bypasses certain Californians, reinforcing disparities based on a person’s race, ethnicity, gender and location. 'Without intentional changes, we will continue to see progress without equity,' Lewis said." — The Modesto Bee January 19, 2022Measuring the wellbeing of California
"[Measure of America's] latest report is on California and they use indicators tied to health, learning, and earnings, which gives us a better picture of our state and helps us tackle social issues in a more effective way. In this interview, Kristen Lewis, director of Measure of America, tells us about it." — KALW January 19, 2022© 2022 Measure of America, a project of the Social Science Research Council
