This Disadvantaged Communities (DAC) file contains the Census tracts that met criteria as 2022 Disadvantaged Communities (SB535) with Tribal Areas that fall outside of the designated Census tracts. <\/SPAN><\/P>

This DAC file represents four (4)geographic areas. In this designation, CalEPA formally designated four categories of geographic areas as disadvantaged: <\/SPAN><\/P>

1. Census tracts receiving the highest 25 percent of overall scores in CalEnviroScreen 4.0.<\/SPAN><\/P>

2. Census tracts lacking overall scores in CalEnviroScreen 4.0 due to data gaps, but receiving the highest 5 percent of CalEnviroScreen 4.0 cumulative pollution burden scores.<\/SPAN><\/P>

3. Census tracts identified in the 2017 DAC designation as disadvantaged, regardless of their scores in CalEnviroScreen 4.0.<\/SPAN><\/P>

4. Lands under the control of federally recognized Tribes. For purposes of this designation, a Tribe may establish that a particular area of land is under its control even if not represented as such on CalEPA\u2019s DAC map and therefore should be considered a DAC by requesting a consultation with the CalEPA Deputy Secretary for Environmental Justice, Tribal Affairs and Border Relations at TribalAffairs@calepa.ca.gov.<\/SPAN><\/P>

SCAG combined both those Census tracts described in 1-3 categories and tribal areas defined by the United States Census Bureau in the 4th category to present a single layer with all of the designated disadvantaged communities. <\/SPAN><\/P>

Note: Tribal Areas do not have CalEnviroScreen 4.0 analysis. <\/SPAN><\/P>
