Chattanooga Census Tracts classified as SN_C (Identified as disadvantaged) by Climate and Economic Justice Screening Tool. These tracts serve as the working boundary for Take Root, an Urban Community Forestry project funded by the US Forest Service for the City of Chattanooga, Green|Spaces, Southeastern Conservation Corps, and the Univeristy of Tennessee at Chattanooga. From CEJST: The tool uses datasets as indicators of burdens. The burdens are organized into categories. A community is highlighted as disadvantaged on the CEJST map if it is in a census tract that is (1) at or above the threshold for one or more environmental, climate, or other burdens, and (2) at or above the threshold for an associated socioeconomic burden.In addition, a census tract that is completely surrounded by disadvantaged communities and is at or above the 50% percentile for low income is also considered disadvantaged.Census tracts are small units of geography. Census tract boundaries for statistical areas are determined by the U.S. Census Bureau once every ten years. The tool utilizes the census tract boundaries from 2010. This was chosen because many of the data sources in the tool currently use the 2010 census boundaries.For more info visit: https://screeningtool.geoplatform.gov/en/methodology#11.22/35.0469/-85.2677
