    • Labor Market Engagement Index

    Metadata Updated: March 11, 2026

    The Labor Market Engagement Index provides a summary description of the relative intensity of labor market engagement and human capital in a neighborhood. This is based upon the level of employment, labor force participation, and educational attainment in a census tract. Formally, the labor market index is a linear combination of three standardized vectors: unemployment rate, labor-force participation rate, and percent with a bachelor’s degree or higher.
