Percent of adults (18+ years old) who reported considering their neighborhood to be safe from crime Data Source: 2011 & 2015 Los Angeles County Health Survey; Office of Health Assessment and Epidemiology, Los Angeles County Department of Public Health. FAQS 1) What is the Los Angeles County Health Survey (LACHS)? The Los Angeles County Health Survey is a population based telephone survey that provides information concerning the health of Los Angeles County residents. The data are used for assessing health-related needs of the population, for program planning and policy development, and for program evaluation. The relatively large sample size allows users to obtain health indicator data for large demographic subgroups and across geographic regions of the County, including Service Planning Areas and Health Districts. Produced by Los Angeles County Department of Public Health, Office of Health Assessment and Epidemiology (OHAE) www.publichealth.lacounty.gov/ha 2) What are the sample sizes of the 2011 and 2015 LACHS? Estimates are based on self-reported data by random samples of 8,036 (from 2011 survey) and 8,008 (from 2015 survey) Los Angeles County adults, representative of the adult population in Los Angeles County. 3) What does the 95% CI mean? The 95% confidence intervals (CI) represent the variability in the estimate due to sampling; the actual prevalence in the population, 95 out of 100 times sampled, would fall within the range provided. 4) What is the prevalence and confidence intervals (CIs) for Los Angeles County and Los Angeles City? Findings for the County of Los Angeles: (84.1%; 95% CI=81.8-86.5)Findings for the City of Los Angeles: (79.9%; 95% CI=75.9-84.0) Note:For purposes of confidentiality, Community Plan Area results with cell sizes less than 5 are not reported and are excluded from the map display. "Field Name" = Field Definition “CPA_NUM” = Unique identifier for each Community Plan Area "NAME_ALF" = the 35 Community Plan Areas, LAX Plan Area, and the Port of Los Angeles Plan Area "Percent" = percentage of adults (18+ years old) whose reported considering their neighborhood to be safe from crime "Stable_est" = (Yes) the estimate is statistically stable (relative standard error ≤ 30%) (No) the estimate is statistically unstable (relative standard error >30%) and therefore may not be appropriate to use for planning or policy purposes "LowerCL" = the lower 95% confidence limit represents the lower margin of error that occurs with statistical sampling "UpperCL" = the upper 95% confidence limit represents the upper margin of error that occurs in statistical sampling

Urban heat islands are small areas where temperatures are unnaturally high - usually due to dense buildings, expansive hard surfaces, or a lack of tree cover or greenspace. People living in these communities are exposed to more dangerous conditions, especially as daytime high and nighttime low temperatures increase over time. NOAA Climate Program Office and CAPA Strategies have partnered with cities around the United States to map urban heat islands. Using Sentinel-2 satellite thermal data along with on-the-ground sensors, air temperature and heat indexes are calculated for morning, afternoon, and evening time periods. The NOAA Visualization Lab, part of the NOAA Satellite and Information Service, has made the original heat mapping data available as dynamic image services.Dataset SummaryPhenomenon Mapped: Sensing package time step valuesUnits: decimal degrees Cell Size: 30 metersPixel Type: 32 bit floating pointData Coordinate Systems: WGS84 Mosaic Projection: WGS84 Extent: cities within the United StatesSource: NOAA and CAPA StrategiesPublication Date: September 20, 2021What can you do with this layer?This imagery layer supports communities' UHI spatial analysis and mapping capabilities.
