Places for the Bay Area Regional Climate Action Planning Initiative Frontline Communities Map

Shapefile contains legal names and boundaries of places - incorporated and Census Designated Places (CDPs) - as of January 1, 2022 for the five counties that are included in the Bay Area Regional Climate Action Planning Initiative Frontline Communities Map. The original shapefile was downloaded from the U.S. Census Bureau, 2022 TIGER/Line Shapefiles webpage. The “Clip” tool in ArcMap was used to select only those features which are located within the boundaries of the five Bay Area counties included in the Frontline Communities Map. No display filters were used to visualize the features in the final map. The Frontline Communities Map is meant to help identify communities that are considered frontline communities for the purpose of the USEPA’s Climate Pollution Reduction Grant (CPRG) program’s planning effort, which is a five-county climate action planning process led by the Air District. USEPA refers to these communities as low-income and disadvantaged communities (LIDACs).
