Disadvantaged Communities (DAC) Mapping Tool
The following resources are intended to assist groups or individuals in identifying DACs in their IRWM planning region. DWR has developed a mapping tool to help determine which communities in an IRWM region meet the DAC median household income (MHI) definition. The maps and GIS files are derived from the US Census Bureau's American Community Survey (ACS) and are compiled for the 5-year period 2006-2010. DWR has included, in the maps, a calculated field entitled DAC (y/n), which indicates the DAC status for different census geographies (Place, Tract, and Block Group). DAC status is determined based on the DAC definition provided in DWR's Proposition 84 and 1E IRWM Guidelines, dated August, 2010. A MHI of less than $48,706 is the DAC threshold (80% of the Statewide MHI). Geographic Information System (GIS) files used to generate maps are provided for those with GIS capabilities.
Note: Maps may take 25-45 seconds to load. However, if using an older web browser with slow internet speeds, maps may not open at all. For best results, it is recommended to use Internet Explorer 9 or newer, or Google Chrome as the web browser.
For guidance on how to use the maps and additional information view the following ReadMe File. [PDF] (85 KB)
