THE BMA CITY INDEX:
HIGHEST SCORING CITIES WITH A MEDIAN SCORE OF 77.5, THE 10 HIGHEST SCORING CITIES in the Black Male Achievement City Index demonstrate what engagement and commitment action look like for cities of all shapes and sizes in helping Black men and boys achieve. They represent a wide spectrum of cities ranging from 43,000 to more than 8 million residents. They are located across most regions of the United States, and have a range of demographic and racial groups among their residents. Each city has a unique political, economic, and social context, yet they all demonstrate a consistent level of engagement and committed action that local leaders and organizations across sectors have been able to initiate. It is important to note that the higher scores in these cities are not seen as the ultimate end goal, but rather as a powerful starting point to leverage for working toward tangible improvement in life outcomes for Black men and boys. Detailed city scorecards are available for all 50 cities at CityIndex.BlackMaleAchievement.org.
