Rhode Island Women's Well-Being Index: Political Empowerment Status Fact Sheet 2020

The Rhode Island Women’s Well-Being Index provides a comprehensive, composite measure of how women are faring, broken down by city/town and county where such data is available. Based on a similar index created by the CA Budget & Policy Center, the RI Index encompasses five “dimensions”- Health, Personal Safety, Employment & Earnings, Economic Security, and Political Empowerment - each of which is made up of several indicators. Data by race and ethnicity is currently not available. This fact sheet shows the latest statewide data for the Political Empowerment Status Indicator, ranking cities/towns or counties where possible. All of the data is from 2020.
