A person living in Moema, a neighborhood with one of the highest income concentrations in São Paulo, lives 20 years longer than someone born in Cidade Tiradentes, in the far east of the capital. Brazil's wealthiest city exposes just how unequal the country is, and how much access to public policies varies depending on where one lives.
Mapping inequality in the capital since 2012, the Inequality Map was released on November 5, featuring 53 indicators across São Paulo's 96 districts. An initiative of Rede Nossa São Paulo, it uses open data provided by the city hall and municipal departments, as well as the LAI (Access to Information Law), to measure access to fundamental rights like culture, education, and healthcare.
