A file geodatabase of the Growth and Equity Analysis in support of Seattle 2035.  See the data in action - click here for a web map.As a companion document to the Seattle 2035 Comprehensive Plan Environmental Impact Statement, the Growth and Equity Analysis examined demographic, economic, and physical factors to evaluate the risk of displacement and access to opportunity for marginalized populations across Seattle neighborhoods. The findings are expressed as the Displacement Risk Index and the Access to Opportunity Index.Access to Opportunity IndexThe Access to Opportunity Index identifies disparities in access to key determinants of social, economic, and physical well-being. It includes measures related to education, economic opportunity, transit, public services, and public health.The higher the pixel value, the higher access to opportunity the pixel has.Displacement Risk IndexThe Displacement Risk Index identifies areas of Seattle where displacement of marginalized populations may be more likely. It combines data about demographics, economic conditions, and the built environment into a composite index of displacement risk. It focuses on displacement that affects marginalized populations, defined in the Seattle 2035 Comprehensive Plan as people of color, low-income people, English-language learners, and people with disabilities. It reflects data on vulnerability, amenities, development capacity, and rent to identify where displacement of those populations is more likely to occur.The higher the pixel value, the higher displacement risk the pixel has.Version: Compiled in 2016For more information contact Nick Welch at the Office of Planning and Community Development, Nicolas.Welch@seattle.gov.
