Abstract
A novel method for understanding the equity of extracurricular learning opportunities within a regional learning ecosystem is presented. We apply the ecosystems concepts of abundance, richness, and evenness to understand the distribution of learning opportunities within the Chicago City of Learning. This analysis highlights the differences in learning opportunities across different neighborhoods the city. This article includes discussion of the ways these analyses can be used as a starting point for understanding city-wide informal learning communities.
