This dataset provides information about the median family income in Austin (SD23 measure EOA.B.6). Median family income (MFI) is calculated annually by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) to help set income limits that determine eligibility for assisted housing programs. This dataset includes the MFI calculated by HUD for the Austin-Round Rock MSA and the United States. For years prior to FY 2016, HUD reported on the Austin-Round Rock-San Marcos MSA instead of the Austin-Round Rock MSA.

This information is important in understanding economic and affordability trends in Austin. Additionally, the Housing and Planning Department uses median family income data in setting income limits for affordable housing programs in Austin.

This is a historical measure for Strategic Direction 2023. For more data on Austin demographics please visit austintexas.gov/demographics. Austin's share of regional households whose income is less than 60% of Median Family Income and the change since 2016​. Austin's share of regional households whose income is less than 60% of Median Family Income and the change in that share since 2016. This metric helps us to understand where low income households live in the Austin area since some lower income households may be forced to move from the city to the outskirts in order to seek more affordable housing opportunities. The data source for this measure is the U.S. Census Bureau's American Community Survey 1-Year Estimates, table S1901. The percentage of all Austin MSA households whose income is less than 60% median family income (MFI) within the City of Austin was calculated by dividing the number of households whose income is less than 60% MFI in Austin by the number of households whose income is less than 60% MFI in the Austin MSA.

Date of Publication: 07/21/2021Name of Person Responsible: Alan HalterDate to be removed/updated: Ongoing updates. Last updated on 10/61/2021.This map includes the variables used to calculate Tree Equity Scores for Austin, Texas. For more information, contact the original data author, American Forests. Layer colors are HEX F99D3E (orange) to 6CC396 (green).A Tree Equity Score is a metric that helps cities assess how well they are delivering equitable tree canopy cover to all residents. The score combines measures of tree canopy cover need and priority for trees in urban neighborhoods (defined as Census Block Groups). It is derived from tree canopy cover, climate, demographic and socioeconomic data. Geographies represent selected Census blockgroups for Caldwell, Hays, Travis, and Williamson counties. They cover the Census "urbanized area" for Austin and might not represent the full City of Austin jurisdiction.The score is calculated at the neighborhood (block group) level.Methodology (For more information about methodology, visit https://treeequityscore.org/methodology/ )Step 1: A Neighborhood GoalDensity Adjusted Canopy TargetThe canopy target – which is meant to be equitable, aspirational and achievable – requires the following data:Tree canopy cover. High resolution tree canopy where available, the National Land Cover Database where it is not.Census American Community Survey (ACS) 2018 5-year Block Group population estimatesCensus ACS 2018 5-year city and block group Median Income estimatesTo identify a baseline canopy target, we use generalized natural biome baseline targets selected in conjunction with the USDA Forest Service. We select the baseline target based on the location of the municipality.Forest: 40%Grassland: 20%Desert: 15%This target is then adjusted based on population density to estimate a neighborhood goal. Based on research completed by The Nature Conservancy, adjustments are made using the following table:Adjusting for population density makes for more achievable targets, while recognizing differences in plantable areas suitable for tree canopy. Note: Neighborhood goals are capped at 150% of the natural biome baseline target.The formula for each neighborhood goal, GOAL, is as follows:GOAL = Baseline target * Density adjustment factorStep 2: The Canopy GapThe neighborhood canopy gap, GAP, is calculated by subtracting the existing neighborhood canopy from the density adjusted target, that is: GAP = GOAL – EC, where EC is % existing canopy for that neighborhoodThe canopy Gap is then normalized to a score from 0-100.GAPScore = 100 * GAP / GAPmax , where:GAPmax is the maximum GAP value citywide for that indicator; andNotes: If the GAP is negative (i.e. Existing canopy is greater than the neighborhood goal), it is adjusted to 0 before normalizing to create the gap score. Also, if Gapmax = 0, then GapScore is set to 0 as well.Step 3: The Priority IndexThe Priority Index is developed to help prioritize the need for planting to achieve Tree Equity. The priority index includes the following equally-weighted characteristics:Income: Percentage of population below 200% of povertyEmployment: Unemployment rateRace: Percentage of people who are not white non-HispanicAge: Ratio of seniors and children to working-age adultsClimate: Urban Heat Island severityHealth: Prevalence of poor mental, physical, respiratory, and cardiac health (composite index)These measures are normalized and combined to create a simple priority index from 0 to 1, where 1 indicates a greater amount of inequity. The indices, N, are calculated as follows:Ni = (xi - xi,min ) / (xi,max - xi,min) , where, for each indicator, Ni,xi is the value for that neighborhood for that indicator, i;xi,max is the maximum value citywide for that indicator, i; andxi,min is the minimum value citywide for that indicator, i.The Priority index, E, is then calculated as follows: E = (N1 + N2 + N3 + N4 + N5 + N6) / 6 , where Ni refers to each indicator value (income, employment, race, age, or climate)Step 4: Tree Equity ScoreTree Equity Score, TES, is calculated by multiplying the Baseline Gap Score by the Priority Index, simply:TES = 100 (1 - GAPScore E)A lower Tree Equity Score indicates a greater priority for closing the tree canopy gap.Tree equity scores of 100 indicate tree equity has been achieved.Data Dictionarygeoid: the blockgroup idtotal_pop: the total population of the block groupstate: the state the blockgroup is incounty: the county the blockgroup is inpctpov: the percent of people in poverty inside the blockgrouppctpoc: the percent of people of color inside the block groupunemplrate: the unemployment rate inside of the block groupmedhhinc: the median household income of the block groupdep_ratio: the dependency ratio (childrens + seniors / 18-64 adults)child_perc: the percent of children inside of the blockgroupseniorperc: the percent of seniors inside of the blockgrouparea: the area of the blockgroup in square kilometerssource: the source of the tree canopy of the block groupavg_temp: the average temperature of the blockgroup on a hot summer's dayua_name: the urbanized area the block group is located insideincorpname: the incorporated place the block group is located insidecongressio: the congressional district of the block groupbgpopdense: the density of the blockgroup (total population over area)popadjust: the population adjustment factor (based on the population density)biome: the biome of the blockgroupbaselinecanopy: baseline tree canopy target generalized to natural biome (percent)treecanopy: the tree canopy percentage of the blockgroup (set to negative 1 if the source is 'ED')tc_gap: the tree canopy gap of the block group (goal minus canopy)tc_goal: the tree canopy goal of the block group (set to negative 1 if the source is 'ED')phys_hlth: the self reported physical health challenges of the people in the block group (a percentage)ment_hlth: the self reported mental health challenges of people in the block group (a percentage)asthma: the self reported asthma challenges of people in the block group (a percentage)core_m: the self reported male coronary heart challenges of people in the block group (a percentage)core_w: the self reported female coronary heart challenges of people in the block group (a percentage)core_norm: the normalized total coronary challenges of people in the block grouphealthnorm: the normalized health index of the block grouppriority: the priority index of the block grouptes: the tree equity score of the block grouptesctyscor: the tree equity score of the incorporated place/municipality of the block group
