LIFE OUTCOMES
DASHBOARD
United States (National Data)
Developed by the Institute for Black Male Achievement, the
BMA Life Outcomes Dashboard is a leading source of data on
a select set of indicators that track opportunity during the life
course of black males in the United States. The dashboard is a
unifying reference for IBMA members to:
• Assess how black males are faring nationally and locally;
• Choose measures that best correspond with their goals; and
• Adopt promising and proven policies and practices to
improve life outcomes for black men.
2 Demographics
3 Education
5 Health
6 Safety
7 Work
8 Family
Currently, the Dashboard tracks demographic information in
addition to data on indicators across 5 categories: Education,
Work, Health, Safety, and Family. The IBMA will be considering
adding both indicators and cities in the future. In the
meantime, if you have any questions or comments, feel free to
email us at [email protected]

Demographics
National
The indicators in this category describe the age structure and poverty rates of the
black male population. These indicators can inform targeted strategies to improve
outcomes and forecast the need for age- and socioeconomic- specific policies,
programs, and practices. Knowing trends for population size by age can help cities
prepare for growing or shrinking populations of young, working age, or elderly
people through housing, education, or workforce strategies. Similarly, understanding how black males are faring using poverty and socioeconomic data can help
encourage strengthening the safety net and the identification of strategies to
boost people into the middle class.

Education remains a critical determinant of health, well-being, and economic
success. The indicators in this category focus on access, proficiency, and critical life
course milestones from the early years (3-5) to early adulthood (25+). Across the
early parts of one’s life, access to high quality preschool education, proficiency in
reading and math along with high school and post-secondary completion are essential components towards opportunity.

One of the most basic indicators of well-being is life expectancy. Black males
have made impressive gains in life expectancy since the 2000 U.S. Census, but
health inequities in life expectancy and other areas persist. While the story behind poor health outcomes for black men is not fully explained by access to care,
it is a critical factor. Strategies that support health for black males should contribute and be connected to other efforts to strengthen and support economic
well-being and educational success.

Do black males live in safe and secure communities?
Safe and secure communities support the physical, mental, and social well-being
of their residents. In communities throughout the world, homicide rates are a
strong and reliable predictor of violence and insecurity. In the US, the communities marked by these trends are mostly low-income and of color. For these places,
high rates of homicides contribute to weak social bonds, fear, stress, and a lack of
economic development. The most effective strategies for stopping homicides—
and ensuring communities are safe and secure—focus on investing in and
providing opportunities to the people that live in them.

Can black males access good jobs?
Work
National
Economic success for black males begins with opportunities to work and earning a livable or family sustaining wage. For youth, employment is a concrete
step toward adulthood, independence, and social development. Moreover,
there is an enormous cost to society when youth are disconnected. Securing
employment opportunities for black males, especially those that are disconnected, will allow them to sustain their families and be productive, long-term,
contributors to the economy.

Educational attainment of mothers with

Are black males living in nurturing and supportive families?
Strong family units promote black male achievement. Research indicates that the
children’s success depends on their parent’s educational attainment (particularly
the mother’s); living with both parents (irrespective of their gender or sexual
orientation); and residential stability. Strategies to promote black male achievement must take the familial context into account and contribute to the success
and parenting capacity of caregivers as well as support, strengthen, and connect
families.
