1.5 Healthy Race and Community Relations

A healthy community is one in which all individuals and families are welcome to live, work, or play in every neighborhood—without regard to race, income, religion, language, gender, ability, or sexual orientation. This ideal community has not yet been achieved, and it is possible to track Boston’s progress by examining—as proxy measures—trends in hate crimes and racial segregation.
