Capital flows in, and out, of our communities is the principal topic for this episode of Capitol Gains. Race and rurality are the two most influential vectors, all else being equal, when reviewing the many community reports Brett Theodos of the Urban Institute has written. Co-hosts James McIntyre and Matt Posner spend time with Theodos in this episode to dig into the data behind what drives a community to thrive and to better understand the reasons for why they don’t. That data can be a powerful tool when considering how to grow a local economy or maintain a community’s well-being in a fast changing landscape in America. Join us as we delve into better understanding the places we live through a capital flows data-centric perspective in the episode. A review of one of his Capital Flows report is here while Theodos has been focused on developers of late and you can view that work here. The views expressed are solely those of the hosts and do not necessarily reflect the view of their employers or other associated parities. Adam Linder of Bespoken Podcasting edited this podcast.
