MTC Equity Priority Communities in 2018 (ACS 2012 - 2016)

This web map represents all urbanized tracts within the San Francisco Bay Region, and contains attributes for the eight Metropolitan Transportation Commission (MTC) Equity Priority Communities (EPC) tract-level variables for exploratory purposes. These features were formerly referred to as Communities of Concern (CoC). MTC 2018 Equity Priority Communities (tract geography) is based on eight ACS 2012-2016 tract-level variables: Persons of Color (70% threshold) Low-Income (less than 200% of Fed. poverty level, 30% threshold) Level of English Proficiency (12% threshold) Elderly (10% threshold) Zero-Vehicle Households (10% threshold) Single Parent Households (20% threshold) Disabled (12% threshold) Rent-Burdened Households (15% threshold) If a tract exceeds both threshold values for Low-Income and Minority shares OR exceeds the threshold value for Low-Income AND also exceeds the threshold values for three or more variables, it is a EPC. Detailed documentation on the production of this feature set can be found in the MTC Equity Priority Communities project documentation.
