This document summarizes the Greater Portland Pulse process, which used indicator projects to explore issues of equity in the Portland, Oregon region. A top-down/bottom-up process was used to identify 9 outcome categories and specific indicators. An equity panel provided criteria around disaggregating data by demographics and mapping indicators to the neighborhood level. "Learning dialogues" between the equity panel and results teams led to a better understanding of equity issues and how to improve the indicators to better measure equity conditions. The process highlighted the need to consider equity as a guiding ideology and political purpose in indicator projects.
