This document discusses the importance of social equity in the Piedmont Triad region of North Carolina. It notes that the region's population is becoming more racially diverse, with decreases in the white population and increases in other racial groups between 2010-2040. Census data on indicators like poverty, education, unemployment, and vehicle access reveal racial disparities, with minority populations faring worse on these measures. The data is analyzed at the levels of race, age, and location to identify vulnerable groups and neighborhoods. Regional GIS data is also used to examine equity-related issues like access to jobs, parks, and services. The overall purpose is to conduct equity assessments that can inform more inclusive regional planning and decision-making.
Latinos are a growing and important part of Boston's population and economy. They currently make up 18% of Boston's population and have accounted for much of the city's population growth over the past few decades. Without the growth in the Latino population, Boston's overall population would be much smaller today and its labor force and economic output would be significantly lower. However, Latinos in Boston also face higher levels of poverty and lower levels of educational attainment and English proficiency compared to non-Latinos. They are more likely to work in certain industries and occupations. The future growth and success of Boston will continue to depend on the contributions and integration of its Latino residents.
This document provides demographic profiles of the Dominican population in Boston, which makes up 24% of the city's Latinos. Key points include: Dominicans have a median age of 26 and over a third are under 20; the majority are foreign-born but nearly half of those are naturalized citizens; about half speak English very well while over 90% speak Spanish at home; over 40% live below the poverty line.
The document provides information about Mexicans living in Boston based on Census data. It notes that Boston's Mexican population has grown four-fold since 1980 to around 6,800 currently, making them the fifth largest Latino group in the city. Mexicans tend to be younger, more likely to be female, less likely to be married, and have higher rates of English proficiency than other Latino groups in Boston. The document also summarizes data on their education levels, occupations, income levels, housing situations, and other demographic characteristics.
Puerto Ricans make up the largest Latino population in Boston, comprising 28% of the city's Latinos. Over 30,000 Puerto Ricans lived in Boston according to the 2010 Census. Puerto Ricans in Boston have a median age of 27 and are more likely to live in poverty (46%) compared to other groups. They have lower educational attainment and household incomes than other Boston residents.
This document summarizes demographic changes in Boston from 1950 to 2007 through statistics and graphs. It shows that:
1) The racial diversity of Boston increased dramatically over this time period, with the percentage of non-white residents growing from 5.3% in 1950 to over 50% in 2000.
2) The foreign-born population also increased substantially, representing over 36% of Boston residents by 2000 compared to just 7% in 1950.

Urban design can significantly impact the economic, environmental, social, and cultural outcomes of a place. It influences factors like local business success, housing costs, transportation access, and how people interact. Key elements of urban design include buildings, public spaces, streets, transportation systems, and landscape features. Buildings define the streetscape while public spaces are where people come together. Streets connect places and their design impacts walkability. Transportation networks enable movement throughout the city. Landscape provides green spaces that enhance character and beauty.
Urban design is the process of shaping the physical setting of cities and villages. It deals with groups of buildings and the spaces between them, including streets, paths, gardens and squares. Urban design considers aesthetics and how the physical environment will be used. It requires input from multiple fields like engineering, ecology, history and transport planning. The best urban design involves interdisciplinary teams to create places that are good to live in, attractive to visit, establish community identity, reduce crime, and be socially and economically successful.

__________
At its optimistic best, America has embraced its identity as the world’s melting pot. Today it is on the cusp of becoming a country with no racial majority, and new minorities are poised to exert a profound impact on U.S. society, economy, and politics.
Through a compelling narrative and eye-catching charts and maps, eminent demographer William H. Frey interprets and expounds on the dramatic growth of minority populations in the United States. He finds that without these expanding groups, America could face a bleak future: this new generation of young minorities, who are having children at a faster rate than whites, is infusing our aging labor force with vitality and innovation.
Diversity Explosion shares the good news about diversity in the coming decades, and the more globalized, multiracial country that U.S. is becoming.
This document discusses demographic trends within the Hispanic population in the United States and Texas. Some key points:
- More than half of US population growth between 2000-2010 was due to growth in the Hispanic population.
- Hispanics are younger on average (median age 27) compared to non-Hispanic whites (median age 41).
- The Hispanic population and their buying power is concentrated in the western and southern US but spreading to other areas.
- In Texas, the Hispanic population grew 154% between 2000-2010 and now make up over 20% of the state's population. By 2040, projections indicate Hispanics will be the majority in Texas.

What If Poor and Minority Kids Became Multimedia Journalists?Michael Hernandez
The document proposes empowering students in poor and minority neighborhoods by training them as multimedia journalists. It notes that most professional journalists and newsroom leaders are white, while the US population is increasingly non-white. Statistics show students in schools with media programs and from lower-income or minority backgrounds are more engaged. An action plan is outlined to provide teacher training, journalism workshops, devices and ongoing support to help students investigate issues relevant to their communities.
The document discusses trends from the 2010 US Census data regarding population growth among Hispanic and multi-cultural populations. Some key points:
- The Hispanic population grew much faster than total and non-Hispanic white populations between 2000-2010.
- Hispanic population growth significantly impacted states like Texas, California, Oregon, North Carolina and Alabama, with growth rates far exceeding projections.
- The document also discusses media usage trends, finding that while Hispanic households are less likely to own home computers/broadband, those with internet access spend as much/more time online and watching online video compared to non-Hispanics. Hispanics also more commonly own internet-enabled cell phones and spend more time watching video on phones
Mollie Orshansky developed the original U.S. poverty thresholds in 1963-1964 while working for the Social Security Administration. She defined poverty as a family's annual income being below three times the annual cost of basic groceries. Known as "Mollie's Measure," it set a consistent standard for defining poverty over time and between countries based on basic needs rather than relative to overall societal standards of living. Her thresholds were later adopted by the U.S. government and remain influential in measuring poverty in America.

It celebrates the 40th anniversary of the report and discusses how it has become a benchmark for examining racial equality in America. It highlights some of the offerings from the 2016 report, including a complete website with data and analysis, a web series discussing the key findings, and the full report which is available online. It also discusses the Equality Index included in the report, which tracks racial equality using metrics in areas like economics, health, education, social justice, and civic engagement. The Equality Index for 2016 shows that black Americans have 72.2% of the equality that white Americans have. The document calls for a "Main Street Marshall Plan"
The document discusses different types of divisions and cleavages in American society, including ascriptive differences based on demographics, attitudinal differences based on beliefs, and behavioral differences based on political participation. It analyzes how Americans can be divided along dimensions of culture, socioeconomic status, religion, race, education and other attributes, and how these divisions have manifested politically through different voting behaviors and party alignments over time.
The document discusses various forms of discrimination in American society, including those faced by African Americans, Hispanic Americans, women, and in schools. It notes that discrimination often leads to poverty, and poverty then leads to greater need for social programs. Key facts presented include poverty rates and family structures for African Americans, education and income disparities between racial groups, and challenges faced by Hispanic Americans and women in areas like employment and domestic violence.

Southwest renewal short power point 1 13 starstriadsustain
This document provides an update on the Southwest Renewal initiative in High Point, NC. It discusses goals to make the Southwest area attractive, connected, safe, healthy and prosperous. Actions taken include planting trees, developing open spaces and community gardens, plans for a greenway and sidewalks, addressing crime, cleaning up Richland Creek, eliminating kudzu, encouraging economic activity through a Community Development Corporation, and investing in historic mill properties. Goats were hired to eat 30 acres of kudzu over 6 months. Grants were received for projects like a feasibility study and improving connectivity in the Southwest area of High Point.
The document contains a quote from Chief Seattle that says all things in nature are interconnected and that whatever humans do to the natural world, they ultimately do to themselves as well. It emphasizes that humankind is just one small part of the larger web of life.
The document summarizes sustainability planning efforts for the Piedmont Triad Region of North Carolina. It notes that the region has lost over 100,000 manufacturing jobs but gained 70,000 education and health jobs. Housing is primarily single-family homes and the population is projected to grow by 400,000 by 2040. Key challenges include a lack of transportation options, participating in the new economy, and abandoned mills. Implementation themes include strengthening every community, linking communities through transportation and broadband, connecting training to jobs, establishing a regional food system, and preparing for climate change. The document lists remaining action items and resources for partnership.
The Piedmont Triad Sustainable Communities Project is a 3-year, $1.6 million effort led by PART and PTRC to promote integrated planning around housing, transportation, economic development, and other issues in the Piedmont Triad region of North Carolina. In the first year, the project held civic forums, developed a website and social media presence, conducted local planning projects, and began studies. Key findings included the region's loss of manufacturing jobs, transportation and housing affordability challenges, and a need for better connectivity. Moving forward, the project will continue engagement, studies, and local planning to develop a long-term regional vision that addresses these issues through coordinated solutions.
The Sustainable Communities Building Blocks Program provides technical assistance to local governments to implement sustainable development approaches. It helps communities understand key principles of sustainable location, site, and building design. The program assists with site selection, assessment, and developing sustainable design concepts. It identifies strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and provides recommendations and next steps in a 5-8 page report. The overall goal is to protect the environment, improve health and quality of life, and promote economic opportunity.
Here are some potential strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats to consider for sustainable development in this community:
Strengths:
- Existing infrastructure in downtown/urban areas that could support higher density development
- Engaged community groups interested in sustainability
- Natural areas, parks and open spaces that provide environmental benefits
Weaknesses:
- Disinvestment and vacant properties in some areas
- Auto-dependent transportation patterns
- Aging infrastructure in need of upgrades
Opportunities:
- Redeveloping underutilized properties in strategic areas
- Improving multi-modal transportation connectivity
- Creating vibrant, walkable mixed-use neighborhoods
Threats:
- Sprawling development patterns consuming open land
The document lists over 40 consortium members from across the Piedmont Triad region of North Carolina that are working together on an initiative. It then provides context about the region's economic struggles in recent decades following the loss of hundreds of manufacturing plants and tens of thousands of jobs. The initiative aims to reconnect the region and reenvision its future by focusing on innovation, design, production and creating livable communities, in order to build a more prosperous future.
The document announces a photo contest for livable communities with winners from different counties, including Alamance, Caswell, Davidson, Davie, Forsyth, Guilford, Randolph and Rockingham counties. It lists the grand prize winning photos in the categories of Community, Economy, and Environment. The contest was organized by a Director of Marketing & Community Affairs to showcase livable communities.

Editor's Notes
Good Morning – I’m Paul Kron, Regional Planning Director with the PTRC – I’m very glad to be with you today. Thank you all for being here.
There are 16 Regional Councils in NC providing a wide range of programs & services.The PTRC service area (Region G on the map) is a 12-county region representing 74 urban and rural communities.
With an area roughly the size of Connecticut, our region has a population of 1.6 million people.
Please visit our PTRC website www.ptrc.org. Our Planning Department provides a wide range of planning services to our members including projects like Piedmont Together and the Equity Profile from which I’ll be sharing excerpts today. Please keep in mind this data is a beginning point. We hope to add depth to the profile over time as we gain insights from folks like yourselves. Much of the data and insights we gather will be made available online in the interactive website being designed for the project.
The face of America is changing. Our population is rapidly diversifying. By 2040 the majority of the US population will be people-of-color. We need a growth model that embraces our increasing diversity based on resilience, providing opportunities for everyone.
By 2040 our region’s population will be >50% people-of-color. Our Hispanic population will nearly triple from <10% to >25%.Over the next 30 years our region’s percentage of African Americans is projected to remain about the same, while the percent of Asian Americans in the region will see a modest increase. So - how will these changes effect our region? What strategies can we pursue now to ensure greater prosperity for future generations? Let’s begin by looking at our recent past…
In 1980 our region was predominantly white. All but one of our region’s 12 counties (Caswell) had less than 30% people-of-color in 1980.Our most significant minority population was African American and their most dominant presence was in Yanceyville – the County seat.
By 1990 our region was still predominantly White. This decade marked the beginning of significant declines in manufacturing that would transform our region both economically and racially. By 1990 Montgomery County had 30% to 40% people of color – due in large part to a significant increase in the county’s Hispanic and Asian populations.
Tobacco, textiles, & furniture industries continued to decline throughout the 1990s, driving many residents to job centers in the urban core of our region. By the year 2000, our region’s two most urban counties, Forsyth and Guilford, had a >30% people-of-color ratio.
The pace of racial diversification in the Piedmont Triad continued to increase during the first decade of the 21st Century. By 2010 Alamance County had also reached the 1/3 people-of-color threshold. The complexion of our region was quickly changing and we were certainly looking at a more diverse future. Growth rates among African Americans in our region were higher than the state and national averages, and growth rates among our Hispanic population was unprecedented.
As we look toward the future we see that by the year 2020 Rockingham County is projected to be >30% people-of-color and Guilford County is expected to be >50% people-of-color – the first instance of a white minority in our region. Not only will more counties become more diverse, but the diversity within counties that already have established minority populations will increase.
By 2030 Surry & Randolph Counties will have >30% people-of-color populations and Forsyth & Montgomery are expected to have >50% people-of-color (white minority populations). Demographic studies show that all of the 400,000 people we expect to gain in our region over the next 30 years will be non-white and most of them will be locating in urban centers. A majority of the older adult population (65+) in our region is, and will continue to be, white.
Over the next 30 years (by the year 2040) all but two of our region’s counties (Stokes & Davie) are projected to have >30% people-of-color populations. Four of our counties will have minority white populations, and five counties will be 40% to 50% people of color populations. Most of our growth over the next 30 years will be in our Hispanic and African American Communities.QUESTION: How many folks here today are at least 30 years old –or- have children at least 30 years old?So – in the year 2040 – you or your children will be 60+ years old (seniors). Think about the world you or your children will be living in.What do we need to do differently, now – to make this a place of health, beauty, resilience and prosperity for future generations?
So - our region’s diversity has been changing over the past 30 years and is projected to change significantly in the coming three decades. We anticipate seeing a continued decrease in our white population, at a higher rate than NC or the US. Our region’s decline in its white population will be most noticeable in rural counties, where the white population is mostly older adults. We expect to see moderate increases in our black population, slightly higher increases in our Asian population, and a significant increase in our region’s Hispanic population. In short, we anticipate a significant portion of our region’s white population being replaced by our growing Hispanic population over the next 30 years.
The Piedmont Triad clearly is changing quickly. These changes may hold great promise for our future. We want to make sure everyone in the Triad prospers in the coming decades. But to help us do this we need to look at where we stand now on a number of equity indicators.PTRC has access to lots of census data - very useful in assessing current conditions in our region. So - Using 2010 Census data and projections, we’ve assessed these Census Data equity indicators, by race and age.
Today I’d like to show you excerpts from 3 of the basic population assessments we’ve performed using Census data.
We looked at census tract data disaggregated by race and age, to show who is struggling most with issues such as poverty and where, generally, they live. This map shows African Americans in the Piedmont Triad are most challenged by economic conditions in our major cities; as well as in Caswell and Montgomery Counties – two of our most rural counties; and in some portions of our other rural counties.
The small but growing Asian population in the Triad is struggling with poverty most notably in High Point, Greensboro, Asheboro and down in Montgomery County. The grey areas indicate census tracts with populations too small to be captured by the Census.
Over a third of our region’s rapidly-growing Hispanic population is in poverty. These stresses are focused in Yadkin, Montgomery, and Randolph Counties, as well as in the suburbs around our urban centers.
The Triad’s impoverished white population is its largest, but its smallest relative to the larger demographic group. This is a different story in the rural counties, where white populations are the majority of the impoverished populations and a significant proportion of the total white population.
Census data also allows us to focus on education indicators. Education is a significant challenge to African American communities in both urban and rural parts of our region.
Though our region’s under-educated Asian American population is small, it is proportionately high within those communities, with almost one out of five Asian Americans not having a high school education.
Hispanic communities lacking a high school education are focused in both urban and rural areas.
As with poverty data, Whites are the largest under-educated population in our region. However, unlike the racial minorities of the Triad, few white urban communities are under-educated. Rather, the concentration of this need is in many of our rural areas.
15% of the 170,000 African Americans participating in our region’s labor force are un-employed, with high concentrations in some of our regions urban centers as well as other more rural parts of our region.
Areas of high un-employment within our region’s Hispanic community are located in many of our urban centers.
A majority of unemployed Asian Americans in our region are also located in urban centers – notably in Greensboro, High Point, Thomasville, Asheboro, Lexington and Winston-Salem).
While a majority of the 45,000 unemployed whites in our region are located in rural areas.
The Piedmont Triad currently has the largest older adult population in NC – 14% - 228,000 people are 65 or older. By 2040, we’ll add an additional 147,000 older adults. What role will this significant portion of our population play in our region’s future? What will they need? Who will provide for these needs?
Many of our region’s older adults are poor, and reside in both cities and rural areas.
Our region’s older adult population is highly impacted by a lack of education - nearly 1/3 of seniors lack a high school education.
Perhaps of highest concern, though, is our large population of impoverished young adults concentrated in large numbers throughout every community in our region. More than a quarter of 18 – 24 year olds in our region are impoverished. These are the workers and entrepreneurs of our region’s future and they face significant challenges.
Our region’s poor young African American population is concentrated in cities and towns.
Young Hispanics living in poverty are located most often in sub-urban and rural communities.
Pockets of Young Asian Americans in poverty are located in Greensboro, High Point and Winston-Salem.
…while a significant number of white young adults in poverty are located in sub-urban and rural areas in the region.
Nearly 20% of the youth (ages 16 to 24) participating in our region’s labor force are currently un-employed.
Yet nearly 1 out of every 5 young adults (18 to 24 years olds) in our region have less than a high school diploma…
And nearly 60% of our region’s young adults are not enrolled in higher education. Our region needs an educated work force to have a bright future.How can we best leverage our region’s colleges and universities to prepare our workforce of the future?
So – we’ve used US Census data to illustrate equity indicators by race and age for our region.But we also have access to a large number of publicly-available datasets that may be relevant in telling us about the quality of life of residents in our. I’d like to illustrate that now, by showing just one example of how we can assess the needs of those most at risk from flooding here in Forsyth County…
This map shows all of the floodplains in Forsyth County. The blue areas are those where there is a 1% chance of being flooded. However, this probability is likely an underestimate, as more recent weather and flash floods have shown us.
The red areas on this map are US Census tracts with poverty rates over 40%. They are along US 52 and US 311 in Winston-Salem.
All of these tracts have flood risk. The highlighted Census tract here (in blue) is the one we are going to focus on today.
Here is an aerial image of the Census tract, with its racial composition. 40% of the people who live here are “impoverished” according to the US Census Bureau.
Census tracts CAN be broken down to smaller units called blocks. We’re just going to focus on the flood risk of those living in one of these blocks, just off of Rundell Street in W-S.
As you can see, we get a better idea of who’s most at risk from flooding in this area of W-S. We don’t know exactly who lives here – and we don’t want to invade their privacy – but this type of analysis can help determine which households are most likely to be flooded in this block and that they are likely to be A) poor; and B) African American.
PTRC has already mapped and analyzed each of the Regional GIS Data Equity Indicators listed here (in yellow), but this is just a start. We need your help and input concerning other indicators of interest and importance to our region. We may not solve these issues, but we can assess them, document critical needs, and begin to build the partnerships and programs necessary to address them.PTRC sees this on-going effort as both part of its mission to serve communities in our region and as a key component and outcome of the Piedmont Together project.
The Piedmont Together project is a planning effort, intended to address the long-term resiliency of our region’s economy, communities, and environment.
We are actively engaged in these two sections of the planning effort. We need your input to make sure we’re identifying the key equity indicators of most importance to communities in our region.
Our next steps are to implement the plan that results from these discussions and efforts, and then reevaluate it for success. That will also require your partnership and input if we’re to be successful.
We are actively engaging implementation of our work. However, we need to make sure that this planning effort meets your needs and answers questions you are asking.
Do you like what we’re doing? What else should we be doing? What concerns do you have? What questions do you have?
Thank you for your attention and interest. I look forward to discussing our “common road forward” throughout today’s summit.Your input is important and we appreciate your time and efforts today. Thank you.
