Data that sees the whole person.
People are more than one category. Intersectional Data helps organizations understand how gender, race, age, disability and other parts of identity overlap, so decisions work for everyone.
About us
What we do
We help organizations collect, analyze and use data in ways that reflect real lives. Our work focuses on four areas:
-
Seeing the full picture
Research & analysis
We look at more than one characteristic at a time, so the gaps that averages hide become visible.
-
Asking better questions
Data strategy
We help you decide what to collect, how to ask, and how to protect the people behind the numbers.
-
Building confidence
Training & workshops
Practical sessions that give teams the skills to work with equity-focused data.
-
Turning findings into action
Insights & storytelling
Clear reports and visuals that help leaders and communities act on what the data shows.
Why it matters
No one is just one data point.
-
Averages hide people
An overall number can look fine while some groups are being left behind.
-
Identities overlap
Gender, race, age, disability, income and place shape each other. Good data can show that.
-
Better data, fairer decisions
When data reflects real lives, services and policies can reach the people they used to miss.
How we work
Careful with data. Careful with people.
-
Look beyond averages
We break results down so no group gets lost in the total.
-
Protect small groups
Small numbers need extra care. Privacy and safety come first.
-
Listen to lived experience
Numbers tell part of the story. People tell the rest.
-
Make it usable
Findings should be clear enough for anyone to act on.
