  • Description: What I'm going to do today is spend a few minutes talking about how our research proceeded from the first chart, and what I see as the state of the field, and this is going to connect to themes you've heard about in sessions this morning and what you'll hear about in the next session on the Community Choice Demonstration, which I think is very exciting. What has really allowed us to make progress as a field, in the context of housing mobility, in the context of many other questions from a scientific perspective, is the ability to break down this national data in a much finer grained way, thanks to the power of big data. To understand economic mobility in a finer-grained way, we used data from anonymized tax retums, covering the enthe U.S. population, and we looked at a subset of kids who were born in the early 1980s in the United States, about 20 million children. Yet, there are other places like Charlotte, North Carolina, which I know is represented here today, and is trying to make lots of changes on these very issues, hi the historical data, (Continued on page 4) Charlotte, unfortunately, was a place where if you grew up in a family making that exact same income level $27,000 a year, one generation later, you're actually making less than your parents were on average, which is kind of unbelievable, given the amount of economic progress that has happened over the past 30 years in America in general, and in Charlotte, in particular.
