In 2018, the Mastercard Center for Inclusive Growth developed a data tool called the Inclusive Growth Score to help local leaders in the US make smarter decisions to ensure equitable distribution of resources and opportunity, boosting the potential for all citizens to reach their economic potential. The Inclusive Growth Score blends open-source data with proprietary insights based on Mastercard’s aggregated and anonymized transaction data. Now, a new report from the Center that measures changes in the scores in the US between 2017 and 2022 can help leaders better understand the factors that drive equity.
