Local indicators and global development goals
Selected UN Sustainable Development Goals provide a useful question set for local economics. The progress bars below are illustrative “attention meters,” not official UN scores.
No Poverty
Westchester’s countywide poverty rate is 8.5%, but local profiles vary materially.
Quality Education
54% of Westchester adults 25+ hold a bachelor’s degree or higher—but access and outcomes are not captured by one attainment rate.
Decent Work
Westchester private-sector employment grew 2.6% year over year through July 2026.
Reduced Inequalities
Local median household incomes in the current dataset range from roughly $82K to $250K+.
Sustainable Communities
Housing, commuting, and access determine whether growth is livable and connected.
UN SDG framework
These selected goals come from the official UN Sustainable Development Goals. WYE’s local indicators and “attention meters” are our own educational framing.
