1 The 5-year trend for median home prices can be
viewed as a positive since it means home values
remained high; but can be viewed as a negative since it indicates that homes in Mammoth Lakes are not
affordable for the local workforce since a home at the
current median home price would require an annual
income of over $190,000.
Disclaimer: All indicators are influenced by a wide
range of factors that need to be understood to
effectively use indicators in decision-making processes.

Participation in the federally subsidized school lunch program requires children to come from families with incomes at or below 130 percent of the federal poverty level. Subsidized school lunch program eligibility, therefore, is a direct measure of family poverty levels and is a proxy for household income in Mammoth Lakes.
POVERTY
Sales Tax Revenue
Taxable sales are a measure of consumer activity in Mammoth Lakes. Trends in sales tax revenue reveal the economic health of residents and local businesses. Further, sales tax revenue funds government expenses such as police and road maintenance.
PROSPERITY
Transient Occupancy Tax (TOT) Revenue
Mammoth Lakes’ economy is tourism-based. High altitude outdoor activities are the major economic and employment generator in the community, and the seasonal ebb and flow of visitors causes economic and employment fluctuation. Transient Occupancy Tax (TOT) revenues are a measure of visitor bed occupancy, as such, reflecting the health of the tourism sector in Mammoth Lakes.

Data source: California Department of Education, Student Health & Support program Subsidized school lunch eligibility measures the percentage of students in Mammoth Unified School District (District) schools eligible for free and reduced priced meals through the National School Lunch Program. Free and Reduced Priced Meals (FRPM) are provided to low-income children before school, during school, after school and over the summer. Individuals from households earning less than 130% of the poverty level are eligible for free meals, while those from households earning 130-185% of the poverty level are eligible for reduced-price meals. The FRPM program is funded by the U.S. Department of Agriculture.
The 5-year trend in the FPRM eligibility districtwide has increased by ≈7.2% annually over the past five years. In the 2020-2021 school year, the districtwide eligibility decreased for all 4 groups.
When compared to the previous school year, the overall district population decreased by 67 students, while the number of eligible students decreased by 70 students. When compared to the 10- year average, the 2020-2021 student population was 49 students below than the average (1119 vs 1168 [~4% difference]), and the number of eligible students was 184 students lower than the average (445 vs. 629 [≈29% difference]).

Graduation rates are a measure of the
annual percentage of a group of students
(cohort) from Mammoth Unified School
District (District) high schools who enter
high school and graduate within four
years.
The 5-year trend indicates a decrease in
the graduation rate by ≈1% each year.
The 2020-2021 school year saw a ≈0.6
percentage point increase from the
previous year and was ≈3.6 percentage
points higher than the 10-year average
for Mammoth Unified.
The 2021 Graduation rate from District
high schools was 7.5 percentage points
higher than the statewide graduation
rate. While the statewide graduation
rates have remained relatively constant
over the last 10 years, there has been
variability in the Mammoth Unified
School District graduation rates, which
have ranged from 100% to 79%. This can
be attributed to the small student
population in the district, and the
substantial effect that a change of a few
students can have on the overall
percentage of graduates.

Particulate air pollution impacts the health of community residents, aggravating respiratory conditions such as asthma and bronchitis. Furthermore, air pollution generated in Mammoth Lakes and throughout California from human activities such as the burning of fossil fuels and deforestation harm the ecosystems that support community residents as well as other terrestrial and aquatic species.
AIR
Water Consumption
Freshwater supplies are a limited resource in Mammoth Lakes. Efficient use of freshwater supplies is needed to meet the needs of local residents and to support local industry.
Increased demand for water has negative impacts on aquatic ecosystems, and imposes a financial burden on Mammoth Lakes to create new water supplies and/or additional treatments.

Particulate air pollution measures the total number of
days Mammoth Lakes exceeds the California Air Quality
Standard for Particulate Matter (PM10) each
year. PM10 includes particles with a diameter of 10
microns or less. The California Air Quality Standard for PM10 is 50 µg/m3, measured as a 24-hour average.
The Federal Standard for PM10 is a less stringent 150
µg/m3, measured as a 24-hour average.
In 2021, Mammoth Lakes exceeded the California Air
Quality Standard for PM10 on 15 days, which was
slightly below the 10-year average of 16 days. 14 of the exceedances occurred in the summer months and were
a result of the wildfire smoke. In August 2021, the Town was impacted by the Dixie Fire (Butte County) and the
Caldor Fire (El Dorado National Forest). From midSeptember through early October smoke from the KNP Complex (Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks)
impacted the Town. While the Town did experience
wildfire smoke impacts in 2021, conditions were not as
severe as previous wildfire seasons, primarily due to the distance from the fires and prevailing winds blowing the smoke elsewhere.

2020/2021 Snow Pack
The most recent winter experienced below average snowfall. The area experienced large snowfall events in October and December, but also experienced prolonged periods with little precipitation. This resulted in a below average snowpack for most of the winter and spring. The water content of the Mammoth Pass snowpack peaked in mid-March at 30.5 inches of snow water content. The low snowpack, combined with spring temperatures, led to an early melt out. The snowpack at Mammoth Pass was effectively gone by the end of May.
The below average snowfall has caused persistent drought conditions throughout the Sierra that are expected to exist throughout the summer and fall.

Thank you to the following for providing the indicator data used to compile this report:
19 Page 266 of 269
The Community Indicators Report was developed in 2013 with assistance from the consultant group Environmental Incentives, and required significant effort to select a targeted set of relevant and feasible indicators, collect historical data for each indicator, and develop the structure and content of this report. In order to leverage this significant effort, a reporting plan was developed to efficiently and consistently update the annual Community Indicator Report in the future. The reporting plan ensures consistent and accurate annual reporting of indicators, and reduces the administrative burden of reporting. The Community Indicators Report is an annual report and the 2021 report is the 9th edition of this report.
