Editor's Notes
- #3 Healthy City is a project of the Advancement Project, a national civil rights, public policy action tank focused on closing the opportunity gap for high need communities. We believe that sustainable progress can be made when multiple tools—law, policy analysis, strategic communications, technology, and research— are coordinated with grassroots movements. Healthy City is a direct outgrowth of these principles.
- #8 Things to consider when planning for communities. HC uses visuals to understand these aspects of a community. Mapping data and information about a place can help to visualize it.
- #13 From 2000 to 2008. worked with SAJE to show gentrification and displacement specifically around usc and use findings to push for community benefits agreements (keeping a percentage of housing and jobs for the local community).
- #22 Broader in scope, while more focused on local communities HealthyCity.org now covers the State of California in addition to Los Angeles County. Users can now view more data and smaller geographies such as block groups, and new geographies such as Air Basins and updated Voter Precincts are available for search.
- #25 By mapping thematic data, you are able to see a certain characteristic about your neighborhood (any geography). You can look at areas that have a high concentration of people in poverty, then look at the resources available to this population. You may be able to identify gaps in services, or begin to look at the allocation of resources.
- #34 Using the Customize tab, you can alter the data level, year, number of classes, ranges, etc. Remember, you can print, save, and email your map.
- #51 If you have a specific focus/campaign/development area made up of zip codes, census tracts, etc.
- #56 Community engagement

- #60 This is an example of active litigation at LSNC. A natural gas company came to Sacramento a few years ago and sought approval for a project to store 8 billion cubic feet of natural gas below a densely populated urban community with a heavy concentration of minority households. There is a naturally formed geological pocket that could store this amount of natural gas; natural gas formerly filled this area but was extracted, leaving it empty. The approval process is governed by the California Public Utilities Commission and there is an ALJ from this agency presiding over the process. Our client is a community organization based in the community affected by the proposed storage site. Maps have been used in this case in a few ways. First, they were used as planning guides for determining which alternative gas storage sites may have less impact on humans. The maps were also used as tools during proceedings before the Public Utilities Commission to show the disparate impact of this project on a urban, densely populated, community of color when alternative sites would not have such an impact.
- #61 This first maps shows three sites: Sacramento Airport Gas, Florin Gas, and Thornton Gas. The natural gas company is trying to site the storage facility at the Florin location. The Airport and Thornton locations have been identified as possible alternative sites that could be used instead.
- #62 This map shows the racial demographics of the communities living above the potential storage locations. The green portions show the lowest percentage of people of color living in the potentially affected areas, and red shows the highest percentage, with yellow being in the middle. The map shows the highest concentrations of people of color live above the Florin location. The airport location appears to have the lowest percentage of people of color living in that area, while Thornton is in the middle.
- #63 This next slide overlays race and income. The same rules apply in this map; green is the lowest concentration of people of color, with red the highest. The pie charts show those who earn greater than 200% of the federal poverty line, which is demonstrated in green. The red portion of the pie chart shows those who earn less than 200% of the federal poverty line. This percentage of the poverty line is relevant for us because that is the income eligibility threshold we have at LSNC. This map shows not only that the highest concentration of people of color live above the Florin location, but also that the highest concentration of impoverished people live there, as opposed to the alternative sites. This map was used to support the argument that there are alternative sites with less impact, based on race and poverty, and those alternative sites should be chosen instead.
