2010 Census Tracts with Disadvantaged Communities Data

This dataset identifies communities that are disadvantaged for the purposes of the Justice40 Initiative using 2010 census tracts. Under the current formula, a census tract will be identified as disadvantaged in one or more categories of criteria if the census tract is above the threshold for one or more environmental or climate indicators AND the census tract is above the threshold for the socioeconomic indicators. Communities are identified as disadvantaged for the purposes of the Justice40 Initiative if they are located in census tracts that are at or above the thresholds in one or more of eight categories of criteria: Climate change, clean energy and energy efficiency, clean transit, affordable and sustainable housing, reduction and remediation of legacy pollution, critical clean water and waste infrastructure, health burdens, and training and workforce development.
