Opportunity Index – King & Pierce Counties

Sheena White, Nate Jones, & Marvin Acosta, Geography

This poster examines the differences in the geography of opportunity between two major counties, King County and Pierce County, both located in Washington State. There are increasing rates of movement of individuals relocating from King County to Pierce County as a result of housing affordability pressures. This phenomenon led to the question of where opportunities were highest, and which county had higher opportunities overall.
