The Priority Neighborhoods layer gives each census tract in Oakland a level of priority between lowest and highest determined by seven demographic factors:

-People of Color [25% of score]

-Low-Income Households (<50% Area Median Income) [25% of score]

-People with Disability [10% of score]

-Seniors 65 Years and Over [10% of score]

-Single Parent Families [10% of score]

-Severely Rent-Burdened Households [10% of score]

-Low Educational Attainment (less than a bachelor's degree) [10% of score]

The Priority Neighborhoods Layer was developed as part of the DOT's Geographic Equity Toolbox

For the GIS dataset, download the "GET_2021.zip" shapefile attachment on this page. The Priority Neighborhoods GIS feature class dataset assigns each census tract in Oakland a level of priority in quintiles from lowest to highest, determined by seven demographic factors: 1) People of Color [25% of score], 2) Low-Income Households (<50% Area Median Income) [25% of score], 3) People with Disability [10% of score], 4) Seniors 65 Years and Over [10% of score], 5) Single Parent Families [10% of score], 6) Severely Rent-Burdened Households [10% of score], and 7) Low Educational Attainment (less than a bachelor's degree) [10% of score]. The Priority Neighborhoods GIS dataset was developed as part of the DOT's Geographic Equity Toolbox. Version 2 (this version) of the dataset relies upon 2019 5-Year American Community Survey (ACS) data. This version is the latest version. The previous version, Version 1, relied upon 2017 5-Year ACS data.

Developed as part of the City of Oakland Department of Transportation's Geographic Equity Toolbox.

The Oakland Department of Transportation's Race and Equity Team created a Geographic Equity Toolbox to help identify priority neighborhoods. We have uploaded a zip file containing a Layer Package that will enable users to open and edit the data used in the Geographic Equity Toolbox on ArcGIS Desktop (ArcMap).
