Pooulation and Ethnic Distribution
<br />* For Census Tract level, data classified as "Some other race alone" applied
<br />** Includes Census Tract 744.05 Block Groups 1, 2, and 2 and Census Tract 744.06 Block Groups 1 and 3
<br />As shown in the following table the median household income for the Census tracts where the project
<br />is located (i.e., Census tracts Census Tract 744.05, Block Groups 1, 2, and 3, and Census Tract
<br />744.06 Block Groups 1 and 3) is below that reflected for Orange County and the City of Santa Ana.
<br />Low income is defined based on the Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) poverty
<br />guidelines. For 1999 (commensurate with available income data), this was $16,700 for a family of
<br />four, and for 2011 (current), it is $22,350. Therefore, although the project area has a lower median
<br />household income than for the County and the City, the project area is not considered a low income
<br />area as it is above the DHHS poverty guidelines.

<br />Based on a comparative analysis of demographic (i.e. race and ethnicity) and income characteristics
<br />of the study area with that of the City or County populations, the study area population is
<br />characterized as having a higher proportion of minority groups (i.e., Latino /Hispanic); and as having
<br />a lower income (though not defined as low income). However, the difference between the project
<br />area and the City percentages are not grossly different. Based on the above discussion the project
<br />could have impacts per Executive Order 12898 regarding environmental justice. However, no
<br />residential acquisitions would occur as part of the proposed project, and in addition, all residences
<br />located east of Santiago Street are located along the north side of Santa Ana Boulevard. As part of
<br />the project Santa Ana Boulevard would be shifted to the south and away from these residences.
<br />Therefore, it is not anticipated that the proposed project would cause disproportionately high and
<br />adverse effects on any minority or low- income populations as per Executive Order 12898 regarding
<br />environmental justice. In addition the proposed project would comply with Title VI of the Civil Rights
<br />Act of 1964 and related statutes. This will be further addressed in the Community Impact
<br />Assessment that is prepared for the proposed project.
<br />28. Will the project require the relocation of public utilities? The proposed project would require the
<br />relocation of the following utilities.
<br />• Southern California Gas — two -, three -, and four -inch gas lines
<br />• Southern California Edison — 66 kilovolt (kV) and 12 kV electric lines
<br />• City of Santa Ana — 8 -, 12 -, and 20 -inch water lines and 6 -, 8 -, and 18 -inch sewer lines
<br />• AT &T — transmission fiber optic and distribution fiber optic
