We need a guiding definition

A definition will serve as a useful starting point, a framework from which we can detail out how to find disadvantaged communities. What does a disadvantaged community mean to you?

factors/concepts, (b) indicators, (c) data sources

  • 2. Evaluate indicators list
  • 3. Geographic area
  • 4. Gather data

Draft Rubric for Selecting Indicators

The rubric can be used by the CJWG, DEC staff and consultants to screen proposed DAC indicators and data, and identify high-priority indicators for inclusion in the DAC definition. It can also serve as documentation of why some indicators were prioritized over others.

  • A. Applicability to CLCPA Disadvantaged

Communities Language

How well does the indicator…

  • 1. [Pillar #1] Represent pollutions or hazards that lead to negative public health effects?
  • 2. [Pillar #1] Capture the cumulative legacy of environmental pollution or hazards?
  • 3. [Pillar #2] Represent people or communities who have historically experienced disparities in clean energy or

energy efficiency investments or services?

  • 4. [Pillar #2] Represent people or communities who have historically experienced discrimination in the areas of

housing, workforce development, pollution reduction, low income energy assistance, energy, transportation or economic development ?

  • 5. [Pillar #3] Reflect environmental or climate conditions or events that may be exacerbated by climate change?
  • 6. [Pillar #3] Capture population or community characteristics that exa

exacerbate ri risks of climate change?

18

The criteria in this section will be applied based on what “pillar” of the DAC definition in Section 75-0111 that indicator represents.

  • B. Actionable and Addressable by CLCPA

Investments

How well does the indicator…

  • 1. Represent exposures, risks, threats or vulnerabilities that are pote

tentia ially ly actionable le by New York State agencies?

  • 2. Represent exposures, risks, threats, or vulnerabilities that co

could be be addressed by clean energy or energy efficiency investments?

19

The criteria in this section will be applied to all indicators.

  • C. Contribution of Indicator to Scoring

Approach

  • 1. How dir

irectly ly does the indicator represent the Factor/Concept it is intended to represent? (e.g., is it a direct measure of the factor/concept (e.g., air pollution, environmental hazards, low income, race/ethnicity, storm surge risk), vs. an indirect or proxy measure?)

  • 2. How es

essentia ial and unique is the indicator to the DAC criteria? (i.e., does it contribute something essenti tial and un unique to the DAC definition, vs. being highly correlated with other indicators?)

20

The criteria in this section will be applied to all indicators.

  • D. Data Sufficiency and Quality

Is the data…

  • 1. Available statewide at the geographic level needed? (e.g., available for all census tracts or block groups in New

York State, pending decision on geographic level)

  • 2. Considered accurate, with limited measurement error? (measurement error can come from, for example, small
  • r non-representative samples or models with general/non-localized assumptions)
  • 3. Current / up-to-date?
  • 4. Possible to obtain and include within the timeline needed? (For the preliminary DAC definition: Before

February ##. 2021?)

The criteria in this section will be applied to all indicators.
