This dataset contains several demographic and transportation-related statistics by SCAG County and by race/ethnicity. Demographic data primarily relies on data from the U.S. Census Bureau American Community Survey 5-Year Public User Microdata Sample, 2018-2022. Other data sources include SCAG Connect SoCal 2024, Healthy Places Index 3.0, U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development Point-In-Time estimates, National Equity Atlas, and Transportation Injury Mapping System. Due to the differences in racial/ethnicity groups reported by each of these sources, this dataset provides all possible race/ethnicity group names and enters a "-1" value where information is not provided for that source. Updates to this dataset are expected annually, dependent on the data source. For all data sourced from Connect SoCal 2024, updates will be made with the adoption of the next Regional Transportation Plan/Sustainable Communities Strategy. For questions about methodology and updates, please e-mail environmentaljustice@scag.ca.gov. With SCAG's Racial Equity Baseline Conditions Report, this dataset is used to help stakeholders develop a deeper understanding of disparities and monitor progress toward addressing them by highlighting past transportation and housing policies and practices and providing a snapshot of current existing inequitable conditions. The latest version of the Racial Equity Baseline Conditions Report (2022) is available here: https://scag.ca.gov/sites/main/files/file-attachments/2022racialequitybaselineconditionsreport_final.pdf

To inform PBOT's work, guide investments and work to achieve the Citywide Racial Equity Goals and Strategies, PBOT has created a simplified version of an Equity Matrix, or equity ranking index. This demographic index is built on two variables, race and household income with data sourced from the US Census Bureau's American Community Survey 5 year estimates (2014-2018).-- Additional Information: Category: Transportation - Plan Purpose: Inform maintenance and project prioritization with a demographic index highlighting areas of the city with more racial diversity and lower household income. Update Frequency: As Needed-- Metadata Link: https://www.portlandmaps.com/metadata/index.cfm?&action=DisplayLayer&LayerID=59857

This dataset provides a framework for prioritizing investments from an equity standpoint using a simple scoring system. The index generates scores in four component areas: race (percent BIPOC), income (median household income), language (percent limited English proficiency), and education (percent of adults with less than HS diploma or equivalent). Each component score is on a scale of 1 (low priority) to 5 (high priority), where each value (1-5) covers approximately 20 percent of the population. A combined score is also provided in the EQUITYSCORECOMBINED field. The combined score is the sum of the race and income scores and is based on a scale of 2 to 10. The combined score has been adopted as the standard equity score. Language and education scores are provided for reference only and do not factor into the combined score.

The Equity Index is an interactive tool visually highlighting disparities in Tacoma. The 2025 iteration uses 29 data points sorted into 5 determinant categories (Accessibility, Livability, Education, Economy, and Environmental Health) to determine where community members cannot access services or where services do not meet community needs. It is one of the primary tools that City staff, partners, and other decision-makers use to help ensure they make data-informed decisions to improve access to opportunities for all community members.Tacoma's original 2018 Equity Index was generated by The Kirwan Institute for the Study of Race & Ethnicity for Tacoma's Office of Equity and Human Rights. Please note that the 2018 & 2020 versions of the Equity Index are based on 2010 US Census block groups. The 2022, 2024, and 2025 versions are based on 2020 US Census block groups. Census block groups have been clipped to the Puget Sound shoreline. Typically, new Equity Index data has been released every 2 years.

In 2023, the Gini index for households of Asian origin in the United States stood at ****. The Census Bureau defines the Gini index as “a statistical measure of income inequality ranging from zero to ***. A measure of *** indicates perfect inequality, i.e., *** household having all the income and rest having none. A measure of zero indicates perfect equality, i.e., all households having an equal share of income.”

The Equity Explorer Tool allows users to explore census tracts throughout Los Angeles County to identify areas of the highest need based on populations disproportionately affected by COVID-19 prior to embarking on project design by either using the map or a series of filters.To use the Equity Explorer, users can leverage the following capabilities:Core COVID Filters: Apply the various COVID filters in the Core COVID Filters section of the far left pane. These filters include the COVID index scores and categories, the individual index components, HUD Qualified tract status, and other location attributes (like CSA). As filters in this section are applied, the map will update to reflect only tracts meeting the criteria and the summary statistics and table will update accordingly. To turn the filter on, toggle the radio button to the right of the filter. The filter is on when the button is blue. Thematic Filters: Apply any additional filters in the Thematic Filters section. Please note, these filters do not impact the summary statistics at the bottom of the application or the table of tracts. The corresponding layer(s) will need to be turned on using the map layer list to see the filter results. Map Selection: In addition to the above filters, tracts can also be selected directly on the map using the map select tool in the upper left corner of the map. Table Widget: Once the list of tracts has been narrowed down appropriately for the program, tracts can be exported by clicking the table widget in the upper right corner, next to the documentation button. Navigate to the COVID Index tab, click the 4 dot icon to the right of the table, and export records as a CSV. Summary Statistics: As the COVID filters are applied or a selection is made on the map, the statistics at the bottom of the screen will update. Map Layer List: To additional layers on or off the map, click the eye icon next to a layer name in the map layer list in the far right paneMap Legend: The map legend in the bottom right corner will update to show information about the layers currently being visualized on the map.For more information, please contact egis@isd.lacounty.gov or race-equity@ceo.lacounty.gov

The Charleston Neighborhood Change Index aggregates American Community Survey Census data from 2014 and 2019 to examine change in neighborhood demographics at the census tract level on 6 metrics that are potential indicators of gentrification. The methodology used to calculate the Change Index closely follows that of the Los Angeles Index of Neighborhood Change, and data comes from the following ACS layers:1.) ACS Household Income Distribution Variables - Boundaries 2010-2014 ACS Household Income Distribution Variables – Boundaries 2.) ACS Educational Attainment Variables - Boundaries 2010 – 2014 ACS Educational Attainment Variables - Boundaries 3.)

In 2023, the Gini index for Black households in the United States stood at ***, which was higher than the national index that year. The Census Bureau defines the Gini index as “a statistical measure of income inequality ranging from zero to one. A measure of one indicates perfect inequality, i.e., one household having all the income and the rest having none. A measure of zero indicates perfect equality, i.e., all households having an equal share of income.”

Tacoma's 2018 Equity Index was generated by The Kirwan Institute for the Study of Race & Ethnicity for Tacoma's Office of Equity and Human Rights. The Equity Index represents 20 indicators within four social determinant categories based on the Tacoma 2025 Strategic Plan; Accessibility, Economy, Education, and Livability. The census block groups were classified between Very Low and Very High scores. Opportunity is defined as a situation or condition that places individuals in a position to be more likely to succeed or excel. Red census blocks represent communities that overall score above average among the indicators. They are labeled as such to help emphasize the disparities within the City.
