"In The Opportunity Map, Jeremy Ney travels around the country to visit the communities with the worst prospects for housing, healthcare, employment, incomes, and education. Along the way, he uncovers something remarkable: for many of the most distressed places in America, there exists a counterpart—a community that is almost identical yet it has cracked the code on the American Dream. From the coal mines of West Virginia to the farmlands of California, from the vast plains of South Dakota to the roaring metropolises of New York, Ney reveals that “mirror counties” offer a blueprint for prosperity that can reasonably be transplanted from one community to the next." https://www.worthybooks.org/the-opportunity-map
