Median House Hold Income (MHHI), American Community Survey, Disadvantaged Community
This data contains summary information for Disadvantaged ($56,982) and Severely Disadvantaged ($42,737) communities. The thresholds are derived from American Community Survey 2014-18 (ACS 2014-18) 5-year estimates at the Census Place geographic level and the California State Median Household Income of $71,228. Per the California Public Resources Code (PRC), Section 75005(g). In order for others to use the information in the Census MAF/TIGER database in a geographic information system (GIS) or for other geographic applications, the Census Bureau releases to the public extracts of the database in the form of TIGER/Line Shapefiles.
This data were used for the Department of Water Resources' (DWR) Disadvantaged Communities (DAC) Mapping Tool: https://gis.water.ca.gov/app/dacs/ . The data source is from the US Census (American Community Survey), that may include attribute table additions by DWR. The DAC Mapping Tool was designed, and the related datasets made publicly available, to assist in the evaluation of DACs throughout the state, as may relate to the various Grant Programs within the Financial Assistance Branch (FAB) at DWR. The definition of DAC may vary by grant program (within FAB, DWR or grant programs of other public agencies). As such, users should be familiar with the specific requirements for meeting DAC status, based on the particular grant solicitation/program of interest.

The TIGER/Line shapefiles and related database files (.dbf) are an extract of selected geographic and cartographic information from the U.S. Census Bureau's Master Address File / Topologically Integrated Geographic Encoding and Referencing (MAF/TIGER) Database (MTDB). The MTDB represents a seamless national file with no overlaps or gaps between parts, however, each TIGER/Line shapefile is designed to stand alone as an independent data set, or they can be combined to cover the entire nation. The TIGER/Line shapefiles include both incorporated places (legal entities) and census designated places or CDPs (statistical entities). An incorporated place is established to provide governmental functions for a concentration of people as opposed to a minor civil division (MCD), which generally is created to provide services or administer an area without regard, necessarily, to population. Places always nest within a state, but may extend across county and county subdivision boundaries. An incorporated place usually is a city, town, village, or borough, but can have other legal descriptions. CDPs are delineated for the decennial census as the statistical counterparts of incorporated places. CDPs are delineated to provide data for settled concentrations of population that are identifiable by name, but are not legally incorporated under the laws of the state in which they are located. The boundaries for CDPs often are defined in partnership with state, local, and/or tribal officials and usually coincide with visible features or the boundary of an adjacent incorporated place or another legal entity. CDP boundaries often change from one decennial census to the next with changes in the settlement pattern and development; a CDP with the same name as in an earlier census does not necessarily have the same boundary. The only population/housing size requirement for CDPs is that they must contain some housing and population. The boundaries of most incorporated places in this shapefile are as of January 1, 2015, as reported through the Census Bureau's Boundary and Annexation Survey (BAS). The boundaries of all CDPs were delineated as part of the Census Bureau's Participant Statistical Areas Program (PSAP) for the 2010 Census.
