Census Data Analysis Sample Clauses

Census Data Analysis. Please refer to Section 2.4 in the 2004 Draft EIS Appendix I, Social Resources Technical Memorandum. Substantial analysis of census data for the study area was presented in the 2004 Draft EIS Appendix I to describe the affected environment for social resources. In that report, the census tract block groups that most closely represented the same geographic area as the study area were analyzed. Due to the size of some census tract block groups, however, portions of the study area were not included and some areas outside of the study area were included. The objective was to select census tract block groups that best represented the study area. However, the study area for this report is larger than the study area evaluated in the 2004 Draft EIS Appendix I. The study area was expanded to capture the three additional city blocks of the project corridor between Xxxx Street and Xxxxxxxx Street. We reviewed maps of census tract block groups to assess whether to incorporate data from the additional census tract block groups. Portions of two large block groups were identified in the expanded study area. One of the block groups encompasses an area along the shoreline of Lake Union extending more than 0.75 mile beyond the north terminus of the project corridor. Similarly, the project corridor only extended several city blocks into the other large census tract block group. Moreover, the field survey findings showed that the expanded project area was similar to those block groups immediately to the south, which were already included in the study area. Because the project expansion was only three city blocks and these two census tract block groups encompass areas substantially beyond the project corridor, the data from the two census tract block groups were not incorporated into the analysis of this technical memorandum.
