This layer represents the geographic areas 1-3 below. Category 4, tribal lands, are in the other layer.<\/SPAN><\/P>

In this designation, CalEPA formally designated four categories of geographic areas as disadvantaged:<\/SPAN><\/P>

1. Census tracts receiving the highest 25 percent of overall scores in CalEnviroScreen 4.0 (1,984 tracts).<\/SPAN><\/P>

2. Census tracts lacking overall scores in CalEnviroScreen 4.0 due to data gaps, but receiving the highest 5 percent of CalEnviroScreen 4.0 cumulative pollution burden scores (19 tracts).<\/SPAN><\/P>

3. Census tracts identified in the 2017 DAC designation as disadvantaged, regardless of their scores in CalEnviroScreen 4.0 (307 tracts).<\/SPAN><\/P>

4. Lands under the control of federally recognized Tribes. For purposes of this designation, a Tribe may establish that a particular area of land is under its control even if not represented as such on CalEPA\u2019s DAC map and therefore should be considered a DAC by requesting a consultation with the CalEPA Deputy Secretary for Environmental Justice, Tribal Affairs and Border Relations at TribalAffairs@calepa.ca.gov. <\/SPAN><\/P><\/DIV><\/DIV><\/DIV>", "summary": "Census tracts that met criteria as 2022 Disadvantaged Communities (SB535).", "title": "SB535 Census Tract Designations 2022", "tags": [ "SB535", "DAC", "CalEnviroScreen 4.0" ], "type": "", "typeKeywords": [], "thumbnail": "", "url": "", "minScale": 625000, "maxScale": 5000, "spatialReference": "", "accessInformation": "OEHHA, CalEPA", "licenseInfo": "
