REPORT BACKGROUND
The project statistics have been calculated based on half mile radius around the point location selected. Only park acres within the project area's half mile radius are
reported.
Population and people in poverty are calculated by
determining the percent of any census block-groups that intersect with the project area. The project area is then assigned the sum of all the census block-group portions.
An equal distribution in census block-groups is assumed.
Rural areas are calculated at a census block level to
improve results.
Median household and per capita income are calculated as a weighted average of the census block- group values that fall within the project area.
More information on the calculations is available on the methods page.
