  8. Segregated, Diverse, & Integrated Areas Questions to be answered: • Is your area segregated? Is the segregation by race? By one or more forms of national origin? • Are particular racial/ethnic minorities more segregated than others? • Are particular jurisdictions far below their predicted racial/ethnic population based on their current economic profile? • What are possible contributors to segregation?

  9. Segregated, Diverse, & Integrated Areas Dissimilarity Index • Used to summarize segregation or integration of two groups (e.g. Black, White) • Based on a scale of 1-100 – from perfect integration (0) to complete segregation (100) – the index compares areas by race • “A high value indicates that the two compared groups tend to live in different census tracts. • A value of 60 or above is considered high to very high. This means that 60% (or more) of the members of one group would need to move to a different tract in order for the composition to reflect the region as a whole.”

  12. Segregated, Diverse, & Integrated Areas

  13. Our region is getting diverse Largest Gain in Race/Ethnic Population by Block Group, 2000-2010 Asian Black Hispanic White Loss among all Races

  14. Predicted Racial Composition 110% - 1000% 90% - 109% 70% - 89% 50% - 69% Segregated, Diverse, & Integrated Areas 0%-49%

  15. Racial Concentrated Areas of Poverty (RCAP) Identification of Racially & Ethnically Concentrated Areas of Poverty • Does your region contain racially or ethnically concentrated areas of poverty? If so, what percentage of the regional population resides in RCAPs or ECAPs? • Are particular racial/ethnic minorities acutely concentrated in RCAPs/ECAPs? • How much HUD/assisted housing/LIHTC is in each concentrated area? • Do certain jurisdictions have the majority of the region’s RCAPs/ECAPs?

  16. Racial Concentrated Areas of Poverty (RCAP) RCAP definition: • A family poverty rate >= 40% or • A family poverty rate >= 300% of the metro tract average* (whichever is lower) • AND a majority non‐white population (>50%)

  17. Racial Concentrated Areas of Poverty (RCAP)

  18. RCAPs in Region RCAP Area Municipal Boundary 121 total RCAPs in region

  19. RCAPs with Public Housing Public Housing RCAP Area Municipal Boundary

  20. Access to Opportunity Identification and assessment of disparities in access to opportunity • Where are the areas of high opportunity? • What proportion of the region’s residents live in such areas? • Are there disparities in neighborhood opportunity for racial/ethnic minorities? Are they significant? • Are certain elements of opportunity more inequitably located across groups? • How do these inequities (or lack of) align with your public investments? • How can access to opportunity be increased?

  28. Fair Housing Issues, Services, & Activities • Assessment of systemic discrimination cases in region, including: • Outstanding findings • Number of cases filed (2008-2011) • Review of studies, surveys, & community input.

  29. Physical Infrastructure / Public Investments • How do RCAPs & identified areas of opportunity align with: • Transportation • Fixed bus routes? Short & Long-Range Transportation Plans? Recreational Trails? • Economic Development • Subsidies to firms? Public works investments? Tax breaks to firms? • Housing & Community Development • Location of subsidized housing? CDBG funding?
