Description: <DIV STYLE="text-align:Left;"><DIV><DIV><P STYLE="margin:0 0 11 0;"><SPAN>Tier 1 Environmental Justice Areas are those with a substantially higher proportion of low-income and racial/ethnic minority residents than the metropolitan planning area average, based on data from the US Census and American Community Survey, and adjusted based on the percentage of students eligible for free and reduced priced lunch. </SPAN></P><P STYLE="margin:0 0 11 0;"><SPAN>At a minimum, Tier 1 Areas must have at least 2 x the MPO area average percentage of both minority and low-income residents, at least 1.5 x the average percentage of minority residents and 2.5 x the average percentage of low-income residents, or at least 2.5 x the average percentage of minority residents and 1.5 x the average percentage of low-income residents.</SPAN></P><OL STYLE="margin:0 0 0 0;padding:0 0 0 0;"><LI><P STYLE="margin:0 0 11 0;"><SPAN>Tier 1 Areas have been drawn to generally exclude non-residential land uses, with the exception of schools and parks. </SPAN></P></LI><LI><P STYLE="margin:0 0 11 0;"><SPAN>Tier 1 Areas do not necessarily encompass all residential portions of their 2010 census block group. In one case, the residential portion of a block group has been divided between two separate EJ zones. In other cases, where higher income residential areas are located within the same block group but are not contiguous with lower income areas, Tier 1 areas include only the lower income areas.</SPAN></P></LI><LI><P STYLE="margin:0 0 11 0;"><SPAN>Adjusted EJ Index Scores (EJ_Adj) should not be used to compare/rank Tier 1 Areas. Adjustments were only made to zones that initially scored below 6, the minimum threshold for inclusion, in cases where MPO staff believed that the estimated percentage of population with a household income below 150% of the poverty level was erroneous and that a higher estimate, within the margin of error, would result in a score of at least 6, the minimum score for designation as a Tier 1 Area. Additional points were only awarded to zones with a high proportion of students eligible for free and reduced price school lunch. Zones receiving additional points in their adjusted index score, were awarded the minimum number of points to reach a score of 6. No scores were adjusted downward.</SPAN></P></LI></OL><P STYLE="margin:0 0 11 0;"><SPAN>Additional documentation: M:\MPO_GIS\GIS_Data\Common\EJ\EJ Documentation\2020.</SPAN></P><P><SPAN /></P></DIV></DIV></DIV>
