This Indicator measures the rate of adult felony arrests by race/ethnicity adjusted for population. Rate is calculated as the number of adult felony arrests per 100,000 people of each race/ethnicity that are 18 years of age and older. To determine the number of adults of each race/ethnicity in Oakland, we took the population by race/ethnicity for all ages and multiplied by the percent of Oakland’s population that is 18 and over (80.33%). This approach was necessary due to the lack of exact data available on the 18 and over population in Oakland by race/ethnicity.

This Indicator measures the age-adjusted rate of asthma-related emergency department visits per 100,000 children under 5 years of age. Data is from 2013 through the third quarter of 2015.

This Indicator measures the percent of streets that are in the High Injury Network for pedestrians over the five year period 2012-2016.

The Indicator takes into account the length of each street segment in both the High Injury Network and the overall street network.

This Indicator measures the age-adjusted rate of chronic diseases preventable hospitalizations. “Preventable hospitalizations” are inpatient hospital stays that could have been avoided with improved access to and quality of outpatient care. They are measured by prevention quality indicators (PQIs).

This Indicator measures the rate of use of force on subjects per 100,000 people in Oakland by race/ethnicity. Note: There were 10 incidents of use of force that were on a crowd. For these incidents, the number and race/ethnicity of subjects were not available. Therefore, each was counted as one incident in the Citywide total. This will somewhat undercount the true total of people subjected to use of force and will potentially misrepresent the true racial and ethnic breakdown as well.

The measurement is the rate of teachers per 1,000 students of the same race/ethnicity in OUSD, in other words how representative are the teachers of the student population? Numbers of teachers and students were calculated from percents of the total number given in OUSD’s Fast Facts report.
