^The Diversity Index is a measurement that describes how diverse a population is by calculating the probability that two people chosen at random will be from different race and ethnicity groups. Recognizing that data around race and ethnicity are limited and lack the nuance available in more local, culturally connected research and publications, ODOE seeks to improve these data further in future agency reports.
