Puget Sound Regional CouncilThe 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 2019-2023 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 2026-2054 Regional Transportation Plan analysis. This dataset represents the most recent data, which employs a revised methodology - different from the methodology used for the previous 'Equity Focus Areas 2019' dataset.
