HELLO! I’M JEREMY.
At American Inequality, we are focused on using data visualizations and mapping to highlight America’s regional divides. You’re joining a community of +25,000 subscribers and 100,000 readers who are largely state and local politicians, policymakers, teachers, data nerds, and change-makers. Our work has been featured in TIME Magazine, The New York Times, Los Angeles Times, NPR, PBS, and on the TEDx stage.
Every article will dive into an inequality topic that gets less coverage than it should (inequality in life expectancy, food deserts, debt, homeownership, and more). We look at the pockets of the US that are suffering the most under the weight of these challenges. We also interweave stories into every article, because data is nothing without the people behind it.
This newsletter, which is put together with a lot of care and hard work, is a reader-supported publication—no ads, no algorithms, just a lot of time gathering data, collecting stories from individuals, and building visualizations so you can quickly understand what is happening in the world.
If you have the means, would you consider upgrading to a paid subscription? It is only $6/months (or $60/a year) and you get access to:

If you can’t become a paid subscriber, my ask is that you forward this email to 2 friends who like newsletters or care about issues of inequality.
You will start receiving updates right here in your inbox. You can also log in to the website to read the full archives and other posts as they are published.
Data portal and analysis tool
We’ve also launched a data portal and analysis tool that you can find at Americaninequality.io. We make all of our data and maps available to you for download and access in one simple place.
Thanks again, and please tell a few friends who might also want to follow along.
Most sincerely,
Jeremy
