      <abstract>This data were used for the Department of Water Resources' (DWR) Disadvantaged Communities (DAC) Mapping Tool: https://gis.water.ca.gov/app/dacs/. The data source is from the US Census (American Community Survey), that may include attribute table additions by DWR. The DAC Mapping Tool was designed, and the related datasets made publicly available, to assist in the evaluation of DACs throughout the state, as may relate to the various Grant Programs within the Financial Assistance Branch (FAB) at DWR. The definition of DAC may vary by grant program (within FAB, DWR or grant programs of other public agencies). As such, users should be familiar with the specific requirements for meeting DAC status, based on the particular grant solicitation/program of interest.For more information related to the Grant Programs within the Financial Assistance Branch, visit: https://water.ca.gov/Work-With-Us/Grants-And-Loans/IRWM-Grant-Programs, https://water.ca.gov/Work-With-Us/Grants-And-Loans/Sustainable-Groundwater.The TIGER/Line Files are shapefiles and related database files (.dbf) that are an extract of selected geographic and cartographic information from the U.S. Census Bureau's Master Address File / Topologically Integrated Geographic Encoding and Referencing (MAF/TIGER) Database (MTDB). The MTDB represents a seamless national file with no overlaps or gaps between parts, however, each TIGER/Line File is designed to stand alone as an independent data set, or they can be combined to cover the entire nation. Census tracts are small, relatively permanent statistical subdivisions of a county or equivalent entity, and were defined by local participants as part of the 2010 Census Participant Statistical Areas Program. The Census Bureau delineated the census tracts in situations where no local participant existed or where all the potential participants declined to participate. The primary purpose of census tracts is to provide a stable set of geographic units for the presentation of census data and comparison back to previous decennial censuses. Census tracts generally have a population size between 1,200 and 8,000 people, with an optimum size of 4,000 people. When first delineated, census tracts were designed to be homogeneous with respect to population characteristics, economic status, and living conditions. The spatial size of census tracts varies widely depending on the density of settlement. Physical changes in street patterns caused by highway construction, new development, and so forth, may require boundary revisions. In addition, census tracts occasionally are split due to population growth, or combined as a result of substantial population decline. Census tract boundaries generally follow visible and identifiable features. They may follow legal boundaries such as minor civil division (MCD) or incorporated place boundaries in some States and situations to allow for census tract-to-governmental unit relationships where the governmental boundaries tend to remain unchanged between censuses. State and county boundaries always are census tract boundaries in the standard census geographic hierarchy. In a few rare instances, a census tract may consist of noncontiguous areas. These noncontiguous areas may occur where the census tracts are coextensive with all or parts of legal entities that are themselves noncontiguous. For the 2010 Census, the census tract code range of 9400 through 9499 was enforced for census tracts that include a majority American Indian population according to Census 2000 data and/or their area was primarily covered by federally recognized American Indian reservations and/or off-reservation trust lands; the code range 9800 through 9899 was enforced for those census tracts that contained little or no population and represented a relatively large special land use area such as a National Park, military installation, or a business/industrial park; and the code range 9900 through 9998 was enforced for those census tracts that contained only water area, no land area.</abstract>
      <purpose>This data contains summary information for Disadvantaged ($56,982) and Severely Disadvantaged ($42,737) communities. The thresholds are derived from American Community Survey 2014-18 (ACS 2014-18) 5-year estimates at the Census Tract geographic level and the California State Median Household Income of $71,228. Per the California Public Resources Code (PRC), Section 75005(g).

In order for others to use the information in the Census MAF/TIGER database in a geographic information system (GIS) or for other geographic applications, the Census Bureau releases to the public extracts of the database in the form of TIGER/Line Shapefiles.</purpose>
