Census tracts within Oakland California that are in the upper 25th percentile statewide for CalEPA's Cal Enviroscreen 2.0, which compiled a series of socioeconomic and environmental indicators to determine "environmentally disadvantaged communities".

More information and methodology, plus the complete dataset available at http://oehha.ca.gov/ej/ces2.html

The Indicators chosen represent the best proxies we could find for the complex disparity themes we set out to measure. The following criteria were used to determining the indicators included in each of the topics in the final framework:
1. Data is available, high quality, and from a reliable source.
2. We will be able to calculate change over time (i.e., data is updated and accessible on an
annual basis and changes from year to year can be meaningfully interpreted).
3. There is a strong causal model for why this Indicator matters (i.e., we understand the
context behind the Indicator and how disparities affect people).
4. The data accurately represents the impact of inequity on people’s lives (e.g., not
measuring quantity when what matters is quality).

The name of each officer and/or staff member of the City of Oakland with whom a lobbyist made a contact. Contacts of public officials are disclosed by lobbyists registered with the Public Ethics Commission on a quarterly basis in compliance with the registered Lobbyist Act. This dataset is updated weekly.

The Oakland Police Department provides crime data to the public through the City of Oakland’s Crime Watch web site. This site presents the data in a geographic format, which allows users of the information to produce maps and/or reports.

The file that you are about to electronically download, copy, or otherwise retrieve by other means is a tabular representation of the same data without maps or reporting capabilities. Be advised that the exact address of each crime has been substituted with the block address to protect the privacy of the victim.
