REPORT: First of its Kind Analysis From All 50 States Details Standards for Race and Ethnicity Data Collection to Identify Inequities
Published December 12, 2023, this report from The Leadership Conference Education Fund details current standards for collecting race and ethnicity data in all 50 states. The report — “Disaggregation Nation: A Landscape Review of State Race & Ethnicity Data Collection” — provides an unprecedented national overview of race and ethnicity data collection standards. It finds that while some states have made significant progress in collecting accurate, disaggregated race and ethnicity data, others are lagging behind and failing to collect data that meaningfully shed light on disparities that we know exist but cannot quantify.

Revising Directive 15: Federal Race and Ethnicity Data Standards

The U.S. Office of Management and Budget (OMB) is currently in the process of revising its Statistical Policy Directive No. 15: Standards for Maintaining, Collecting, and Presenting Federal Data on Race and Ethnicity (Directive 15), which sets forth the minimum categories that federal agencies must use when they collect information on race and ethnicity. The Leadership Conference and members of our Data Disaggregation Action Network have called for modernized race and ethnicity data standards, including a requirement for disaggregated race and ethnicity data, that will better reflect the diversity of our communities and help to identify and address disparities.
