We’re always on the lookout for great sources of useful data, and particularly sources that visualize information in visually arresting ways. So we are really pleased to be able to share one such resource: the Opportunity Index. The Index is a website sponsored by the national coalition Opportunity Nation. Offering snapshots of the educational, economic and civic opportunities available across the country, the Index is capable of drilling down to the state and county levels to provide a remarkably nuanced picture.

Fair warning: Do not click on the link to the Index unless you have some free time, because I promise that you will find it difficult to tear yourself away from this fascinating site!
