The Race/Ethnicity metrics are derived from 2020 Decennial Census Redistricting File data published by the Census Bureau in September 2021. This metric identifies group block areas (Block Groups (BGs) are statistical divisions of census tracts, generally defined to contain between 600 and 3,000 people) where Native Americans are disproportionately present in comparison to the total Native American population of the ACCEL project region. The relative concentration of Native Americans individuals in a block group is expressed categorically.----------------This raster has been modified from the base 30m version in the following ways:-------- - It has been aggregated from a 30m to a 300m scale by averaging across the 30m values-------- - The normalized values are rescaled based on the full range of potential values, with -1 representing high values, and 1 representing low values. This interpretation reflects concerns for projects to benefit Native American populations, with areas of higher densities considered to benefit more from investments (lower values) than areas with limited or no Native American populations (higher values).----------------- Unit Of Measure: Categorical |
