Description: FHWA has defined underserved individuals as those that meet one or more of the following criteria: Low Income, Racial-Ethnic Minority, Elderly, Children, Limited English Proficiency, or Persons with Disabilities. WFRC, under the direction of its committees and Board, has adopted an Equity Focus Areas framework as an important input to its transportation planning efforts. For analysis purposes, Equity Focus Areas are those census block groups where any of the following criteria is met:Greater than 25 percent Low-Income — low-income populations are highlighted, as a lack of access to reliable and efficient transportation can be a major barrier to economic mobilityGreater than 40 percent Persons of Color— racial-ethnic minority populations comprise this criterion, as many land use and transportation investments in the U.S. have had disproportionate adverse impacts upon communities of color. WFRC strives to prevent any perpetuation of such unjust burdens.Greater than 10 percent Zero-Car Households — zero-car households are included in this criterion as these are populations, which include those with disabilities, depend more on transit, paratransit, walking, and bicycling to reach employment and other destinationsSource data was obtained from 2016 ACS 5-year data tables (B03002; B25044; C17002). The population percentage threshold for each criterion was defined as any census block group that has a population percentage one standard deviation above the regional mean. Please note that in some instances the shape of the census block group data has been amended to exclude industrial areas and vacant space.
