Opportunity map scores for Santa Ana census tracts are presented in Figure 35 and Figure 36 along with the City's sites. A majority of the tracts in the city are low to moderate resource tracts. There are pockets of High resource tracts located near the intersection of Bristol St. and 17th St., the tract that houses the entirety of Santa Ana College, and all other High resource tracts are in the cities periphery. There are no tracts in the highest resource category in Santa Ana. Two tracts in the city near the downtown area are classified as areas of high segregation and poverty. AB2011 Sites Inventory A majority of the sites are located in Moderate Resource areas with 60 percent of the affordable units being located in these areas. The location of the sites within resource areas reflect the pattern in the City with a majority of the tracts being moderate resource. The alternative sites are also within or near a specific plan area or General Plan Focus Area. These areas have been identified by the City for higher intensity development. These areas are also undergoing significant levels of reinvestment from both the City and the private sector and may change the level of resource available to residents. As such, they are opportune sites for redevelopment. Moreover, these areas provide housing opportunities for lower income residents in close proximity to amenities, jobs, resources, and mobility options.

These areas are generally outside of the City's Focus Areas and not targeted for redevelopment under the General Plan. Similar to the Alternative sites, there is a high number of exempt sites located within a moderate resource area, but this is consistent with the makeup of the entire City.
