The CES tool measures 21 indicators for every census tract in California related to <br />people's exposure to pollution and quality of life. The results for each census tract are <br />combined and measured against every other census tract, producing a composite score <br />that ranks census tracts from the least impacted to the most impacted. Those ranked in <br />the top 25 percent —shown with values between 15 and 100 percent —are considered <br />disadvantaged or environmental justice communities. <br />City Council 41 — 243 12/21 <br />CITY OF SANTA ANA GENERAL PLAN 10 ii-T1T!
