What is Economic Mobility?<\/h2>\n

Economic Mobility<\/a> refers to the ability of individuals or families to improve their economic states over time. It often reflects how easily someone can move up (or down) the economic ladder and is often influenced by a range of factors. High economic mobility implies that people have equal opportunities to succeed regardless of their background, whereas low economic mobility suggest that economic outcomes are strongly tied to an individual’s early life and surroundings.<\/p>\n

The Opportunity Atlas<\/h3>\n

A study<\/a> conducted by Opportunity Insights, a research team at Harvard University, and in collaboration with the U.S. Census Bureau, laid out findings that highlights the changes in economic opportunity for individuals born between 1978 and 1992 and how community-level changes impacted those trends in mobility. This research can be explored in more depth via the Opportunity Atlas<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Now in Living Atlas<\/h2>\n

These layers and maps are now available in ArcGIS Living Atlas<\/a> for the GIS community to explore and leverage for other mapping efforts. There are four main feature layers that highlight both household and individual income at the county geography level and the commuting zone geography level. These layers include more than 270 attributes each, that cover either household income or individual income earned by an individual measured at age 27, and can be further broken down by race, gender, and parent income percentile group.<\/p>\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"image","image":{"ID":2850772,"id":2850772,"title":"layers","filename":"layers.png","filesize":228603,"url":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2025\/06\/layers.png","link":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/products\/arcgis-living-atlas\/announcements\/explore-economic-mobility-layers-in-living-atlas\/layers-6","alt":"screenshot of layers in living atlas","author":"340292","description":"","caption":"","name":"layers-6","status":"inherit","uploaded_to":2821052,"date":"2025-06-24 16:26:28","modified":"2025-06-24 16:26:48","menu_order":0,"mime_type":"image\/png","type":"image","subtype":"png","icon":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/wp-includes\/images\/media\/default.png","width":1448,"height":412,"sizes":{"thumbnail":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2025\/06\/layers-213x200.png","thumbnail-width":213,"thumbnail-height":200,"medium":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2025\/06\/layers.png","medium-width":464,"medium-height":132,"medium_large":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2025\/06\/layers.png","medium_large-width":768,"medium_large-height":219,"large":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2025\/06\/layers.png","large-width":1448,"large-height":412,"1536x1536":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2025\/06\/layers.png","1536x1536-width":1448,"1536x1536-height":412,"2048x2048":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2025\/06\/layers.png","2048x2048-width":1448,"2048x2048-height":412,"card_image":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2025\/06\/layers-826x235.png","card_image-width":826,"card_image-height":235,"wide_image":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2025\/06\/layers.png","wide_image-width":1448,"wide_image-height":412}},"image_position":"center","orientation":"horizontal","hyperlink":"https:\/\/livingatlas.arcgis.com\/en\/browse\/?q=economic%20mobility#q=economic+mobility&d=2"},{"acf_fc_layout":"content","content":"

For example, this Compare Instant App shows that both Monroe County, IL and the Fredericksburg Commuting Zone in Virginia saw a decrease in economic mobility in this study. Both households and individuals whose parents were in the middle-income percentile had lower incomes at age 27 when adjusted for inflation. Interacting with both income maps side-by-side for the same county (or commuting zone) helps to reinforce the overall story for a specific area.<\/p>\n

These maps show places that have successfully given people a chance to improve their economic status (as well as places where people are stuck). If your organization is working to increase economic mobility for your community, knowing where opportunity is decreasing can help inform strategies.<\/p>\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"content","content":"
