Priorities
For the inaugural and updated versions of the Opportunity Compass, Leading on Opportunity engaged the community to better understand how and what members prioritized as key drivers to economic mobility.
Through in-person meetings and digital surveys, the information shared and lived experience of the community was and still is the data upon which the Compass was built. That dataset was added to for the current version of the Compass, and more information gathered as we prepared for the updated launch.

More Than
100 + Nonprofits
Aligned with Economic Mobility
100 English and Spanish-speaking Charlotte-area nonprofits have learned how to use the Compass to report impact, tell their story, and plan for the future.
Proven Strategies & Policies
Although data is a powerful tool to have, it is only a starting point towards a call to action. By using Results for America (RFA), we are able to supplement this data with proven practices and use these case studies as a way to have a lasting impact in our community.
More About
The Opportunity Compass
The Opportunity Compass, a dashboard managed by Leading on Opportunity, organizes local economic mobility data that can be used by funders and nonprofits interested in aligning their work to common metrics.
Launched in 2022 with support from Deloitte, the Compass measures 82 indicators of economic mobility across key areas of improvement: Early Care and Education, College and Career Readiness, Social Capital, Child and Family Stability and the Impact of Segregation.
Using publicly available data from 2015-22, the Compass establishes Charlotte-Mecklenburg’s baseline for future progress.
