The measurement is percent of students by race/ethnicity who have met the California A-G requirements by the end of high school. There are two components to the requirement: 1) Students must enroll in the right sequence of A-G courses, and 2) They must obtain a grade of “C” or better in each required course. Data includes only OUSD students (not charter or private schools) who have graduated.

This Indicator measures the number of service requests received by the Oakland Call Center for illegal dumping as a rate per 1,000 people in each census tract. The census tracts are grouped based on majority race/ethnicity. Service requests that were canceled were excluded from the analysis.

This Indicator measures the difference in denial rate of Home Mortgage Disclosure Act (HMDA) loans by race/ethnicity. The HMDA requires that any loan secured by a lien on a
dwelling made for the purpose of purchasing a home is reportable on an annual basis to the Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council (FFIEC), which is the federal reporting agency of the Federal Reserve Board.

This Indicator measures access to different types of financial institutions by zip code. “Good” institutions include banks, credit unions, and savings institutions. “Bad” institutions include check cashing services, money transfer services, and payday loan institutions. The ratio between the number of bad institutions and the number of good institutions is calculated for each zip code. A higher ratio of bad-to-good institutions means that there are disproportionately more bad institutions in a given zip code. The Indicator then measures the ratio of these ratios, comparing zip codes in which more than 60% of the population is non- White to those in which more than 60% of the population is White. The third category of zip codes is those in which the population is racially and ethnically mixed.

This Indicator measures the percent of householders who do not own their homes. The percent of householders living in owner-occupied units does not consider other properties that may be owned by individuals within the household.

This Indicator measures the percent of individuals who live in housing units that do not have a car.

This Indicator measures the hourly wage for all workers ages 16 and older and compares it to the 2016 Oakland living wage ($14.86 per hour). Hourly wages are calculated by dividing the total person’s earnings by the product of the weeks worked and the usual hours worked per week during the past 12 months. The weeks worked variable was set to the midpoint of the interval included in the ACS data. Only workers with non-zero earnings, who were not self- employed or unpaid family workers, and who were at work or had a job but were not at work last week were included in the analysis.

This Indicator measures what percent of 12th grade students have never taken an AP course throughout high school. OUSD collects data on the cumulative enrollment of 12th graders in AP courses by race/ethnicity, i.e. how many AP courses have they taken at any point in high school? Advanced Placement (AP) is a program created by The College Board offering college- level courses and tests in high school.
