The 2018 update of MTC's Communities of Concern follows the Adopted Communities of Concern (COC) Framework for Plan Bay Area 2040, and is based on on 2012-2016 American Community Survey (ACS) 5-year tract level data. The MTC COC Framework is based on the following variables: <\/SPAN><\/P>

Minority (70% threshold) <\/SPAN><\/P>

Low-Income (less than 200% of Fed. poverty level, 28% threshold) <\/SPAN><\/P>

Level of English Proficiency (12% threshold) <\/SPAN><\/P>

Seniors 75 Years and Over (8% threshold) <\/SPAN><\/P>

Zero-Vehicle Households (15% threshold) <\/SPAN><\/P>

Single Parent Households (18% threshold)<\/SPAN><\/P>

People with a Disability (12% threshold) <\/SPAN><\/P>

Rent-Burdened Households (14% threshold) <\/SPAN><\/P>

If a tract exceeds both threshold values for Low-Income and Minority shares OR exceeds the threshold value for Low-Income AND also exceeds the threshold values for three or more variables, it is a CoC.<\/SPAN><\/P>

This dataset is based on a point-in-time analysis and subsequent adoption by MTC. It is not maintained but is superseded by a new version approx. every four years. Note that subsequent versions have been renamed to Equity Priority Communities. <\/SPAN><\/P>
