Census tracts are small units of geography that generally contain between 1,200 to 8,000 people, with an average size of 4,000 people. Census tract boundaries for statistical areas are determined by the U.S. Census Bureau once every ten years. The tool utilizes the census tract boundaries from 2010. This was chosen because many of the data sources in the tool currently use the 2010 census boundaries. Additional information on the decision to identify disadvantaged communities at the census tract level can be found in Section III.B. In version 1.0 of the CEJST, communities are considered disadvantaged if they are in census tracts that meet the thresholds for at least one of the tool’s categories of burden, or if they are on land within the boundaries of Federally Recognized Tribes. In addition, census tracts that are completely surrounded by disadvantaged communities are also considered disadvantaged if they meet an adjusted low income threshold.
