About this dataset

Context

The dataset tabulates the San Jose population over the last 20 plus years. It lists the population for each year, along with the year on year change in population, as well as the change in percentage terms for each year. The dataset can be utilized to understand the population change of San Jose across the last two decades. For example, using this dataset, we can identify if the population is declining or increasing. If there is a change, when the population peaked, or if it is still growing and has not reached its peak. We can also compare the trend with the overall trend of United States population over the same period of time.

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.
