Economic mobility intelligence,
grounded in evidence
MobilityLens aggregates Opportunity Insights, ALICE data, Census ACS, and a growing practitioner knowledge corpus into a single research intelligence layer — queryable in plain language, citable by source, and accessible without a data science team.
Research capabilities
Tools built for policy analysis, program evaluation, and population-level mobility research
Geographic mobility reports
Generate citation-backed reports by ZIP code, city, or region. Every claim links to its source: Opportunity Insights, ALICE data, Census ACS, HUD Fair Market Rents, or journal-level research.
Policy simulation engine
Model the effect of a policy change — minimum wage floor, housing subsidy expansion, childcare access — against real ALICE thresholds and Census data for any geographic area. See 1-, 3-, and 5-year mobility score projections.
Population trends dashboard
Track mobility score distributions, capital improvement rates, and barrier prevalence across aggregated, de-identified cohorts. Minimum cohort size of 50 — no individual is ever identifiable.
Equity impact analysis
Disaggregate outcomes by race, gender, household type, and immigration status. Identify which subpopulations gain or lose from a policy intervention — before it is enacted.
AI-assisted literature review
Query the MobilityLens DataHub — a RAG-indexed library of research papers, ALICE reports, expert interview transcripts, and policy documents — in plain language. Every response cites its source.
Structured data export
Export anonymized, cohort-level datasets in CSV or JSON format for external analysis. All exports are de-identified under differential privacy practices.
Data sources
All sources are authoritative, year-stamped, and updated on a documented cadence

Privacy by design
Minimum cohort of 50
No metric is ever displayed unless the underlying group contains at least 50 distinct individuals. Smaller cohorts are suppressed in all research views.
Differential privacy practices
Exported datasets apply noise addition and aggregation to prevent re-identification — even when combined with external data.
No individual data in research exports
Research access is cohort-level only. Individual EMS scores, case records, and assessment answers are never included in any export.
Consent-linked data flow
Individual data joins the research pool only after case closure and only where the organization's consent policy permits aggregated use.
