Equity Census Tracts [Washington (State)--Puget Sound Region] {2016}
Description
The Equity Focus Area dataset identifies the census tracts that have concentrations of equity populations above the regional average in King, Kitsap, Pierce, and Snohomish counties. The 2011-2016 U.S. Census Bureau's 5-year American Community Survey data was analyzed for this dataset. Equity focus populations include people of color, people with low incomes (below 200% of federal poverty level), youth (5-17), older adults (65+), people with disabilities, and people with limited English proficiency (who don`t speak English very well). This dataset was used for the 2022-2050 Regional Transportation Plan analysis.
