data.grandrapidsmi.gov | Last Updated 2024-05-12T21:39:50.000ZGR Vital Streets: Equity & Prioritization analysisAnalysis OVERVIEWA multi-variable analysis of demographic and geographic assets was conducted to aid the Vital Streets program in identifying target areas to prioritize for vital streets funding. This analysis in particular focuses on equity factors across the City of Grand Rapids along with geographic representation across different wards. The analysis is broken into two components:Demographic Need– This set of factors reflects equity and need considerations based on demographic characteristics and adjusted based on the overall population density of each census block.Connection Opportunity– Factors reflect desired destinations and areas of opportunity based on a spectrum of data inputs – including gaps in existing physical facilities and infrastructure, jobs, and transit connectivity.APPROACHEach of the analysis factors are aggregated into the 2010 census block level. The source for each factor and methods of aggregation are described below in the DATA LAYERS section.Each factor was generalized into a 1-5 score based on a quantile distribution (20% increments in values across the scores) unless otherwise noted below.Factors within each analysis component (Demographic Need and Connectivity Opportunity) were combined with equal weighting (calculation of mean score) to generate a component score. The Demographic Need score was filtered based on the census block's population density score such that less dense census blocks would receive a lower score relative to denser census blocks with the same Demographic need score. The following formulas were used for calculating these scores:Demographic Need: (([MedIncS] + [Ov65DenS] + [HHPovS] + [HHDisabS] + [NoWhiteS] + [Youth18S])/6)/(6- [PopDensS])Connection Opportunity: ([CommDenS]+ [JobDenS]+[ParkAccS]+[TransitS]+ [BikeConS]+ [BPCrashS]+ [TreeCanS]+ [SidewalkS])/8The two component scores were each normalized into a 1-5 score based on a quantile distribution.The resulting component scores were combined into an overall score for each Census Block by adding the two values together, resulting in a 2-10 score range for each Census block. Data DescriptionDemographic NeedThese factors relate to areas of the city where there may be a heightened need for projects to occur in order to support neighborhood stability, and address equity considerations.The data for the Demographic Need component was taken directly from Census 2010 and American Community Survey (ACS) data from 2015.
