2. EBDI Project Area Community Profile 2000 to 2010 (2010 MHI) (2000 MHI) Census Tract 807 • Median Household Income: Of the four census tracts that intersect the EBDI project area, three experienced increases in median household incomes from 2000 to 2010 ranging from a 4% increase to a 130% increase. The average of these EBDI census tracts was $17,306 in 2000 and $21,435 in 2010. • Gini Index: The Gini Index is a measure of income inequality and varies between 0 and 1. • 0= Complete Equality (all households have equal shares of income) • 1= Complete Inequality (one household has all the income). • The closer the Gini Index is to 1 the greater the level of inequality. • The Gini Index for the EBDI census tracts range between .39 and .53. This is comparable to the Baltimore and Maryland indices, .49 and .44, respectively. • Income Distribution: The income distribution of residents in the area has shifted between 2000 and 2010 with very low income residents making up 46% of all area residents and 44% in 2010. The low income group ($15,000-$24,000) had the largest percentage change of residents in that income group, a 60% decrease. While the number of residents in the moderate to very high income groups did not increase, the share of residents that fall in these categories increased due to the decrease of 518 residents from the very low income group and 324 from the low income group. • Share of Baltimore City: The number of residents in each income category in the area compared to the Baltimore City total for each category reveals that a smaller share of the city’s residents in the very low and low income categories reside in the project area. For example, in 2010 the share of very low income residents in the area (670) is 1.4% of the total in Baltimore City (47,955).
