This Indicator measures the percent of curbs with curb ramps that are not modern, indicating that they are non-compliant. Modern curb ramps should have all the proper elements: low slope and cross-slope, adequate width, level top and bottom landings, a detectable warning surface, and they should be directional and clear of obstructions in the curb ramp area. This is a citywide Indicator that measures conditions for individuals with physical disabilities and limited mobility.

This Indicator measures severe mental illness related emergency department visits per 100,000 by race/ethnicity, from 2013 through the third quarter of 2015. Severe mental illness is often defined by its length of duration and the disability it produces. These illnesses include disorders that produce psychotic symptoms, such as schizophrenia and schizoaffective disorder, and severe forms of other disorders, such as major depression and bipolar disorder.

Youth are considered disconnected if they are out of work and out of school. This Indicator measures the percent of the population aged 16-24 who are neither working nor in school.

This Indicator measures the rate of domestic violence victimization in Oakland by race/ethnicity. Rate is calculated as the number of domestic violence incidents per 100,000 people of the same race/ethnicity (of any age).

This Indicator measures the percent by race/ethnicity of Prime contractors for construction and professional services contracts who received under $100,000. Additional data is provided on the average amount received by these contractors. Data is from fiscal year 2015-16 and the date used to assign contracts to a fiscal year is the date that the compliance analysis was completed, or the review date. The dollar amounts represent the initial award; any negotiated bid amounts or change orders are not taken into account. The initial award is adjusted to how much of the total contract went to the Prime as opposed to Subprime contractors.

This Indicator measures the percent of business addresses that have been identified as “vacant” by the United States Postal Service (USPS) for at least two years. Data is collected and aggregated at the census tract level by the USPS on a quarterly basis.

This Indicator measures the residential parcels that required a Level 1 or Level 2 evaluation of the group floor for a soft-story retrofit. Potential soft story buildings were identified through a 2008 screening of buildings permitted for construction before January 1, 1991, with parking or commercial on the ground floor, with five or more residential units, without previous soft story retrofits, and at least two stories. Some of these buildings were marked exempt or had incomplete evaluations, so this Indicator only measures those that were officially identified as soft story in 2014. In future years, we hope to measure the percent of identified soft story buildings that have been retrofitted.

This Indicator measures the percent of storm drains that have not been adopted through Oakland’s Adopt a Drain Program. Through this program, volunteers help to clean storm drain inlets throughout the city. This Indicator measures disparities in program participation by the majority race/ethnicity of census tracts.

This Indicator measures the number of infant deaths for every 1,000 live births from 2014- 2016.

This Indicator measures the likelihood of individuals living in overcrowded housing, which is defined as housing units that have more than 1.5 people per room. Persons-per-room is the most common measure for overcrowding in housing, and 1.5 is a widely accepted threshold above which there are impacts on health and personal safety.
