* These represent the most recent data available.
1. Low Poverty Index - measures poverty at the neighborhood level. The higher the index score, the less exposure a household living in that neighborhood has to poverty.
2. School Proficiency Index - indicates which neighborhoods are in close proximity to high or low performing elementary schools. Higher scores indicate higher quality elementary education opportunities.
3. Transit Index - this index measures annual public transit trips taken by low-income (50% AMI), 3-person, single parent households. Higher values indicate better access to public transit options.
4. Jobs Proximity Index - measures distance to job opportunities, with higher index values indicating better access to jobs/employment centers.
The above indicators are measured at the census tract level. As such, the values for each racial/ethnic group provide the best estimate of housing supported improved economic mobility based on the neighborhoods in which they live.
