California Rapid Assessment Method (CRAM; an assessment method for monitoring the condition of wetlands) spatial data was sorted from the EcoAtlas and was then downloaded to ArcGIS where it was clipped to LA County and a color gradient depicting the CRAM scores was created for each point.
CRAM data was sorted to only include sites within LA County. These sites were then sorted by watershed and by land use and presented as a percentage of sites per score.

High Quality Transit Areas (HQTAs) are defined as being within 1/2-mile of fixed guideway transit and/ or bus rapid transit stations with service every 15 minutes or less during peak commute times. SCAG published two shapefiles of (HQTAs): one for actual HQTAs in 2012, and one for planned HQTAs in 2040.

Population living in high quality transit areas was calculated by race and ethnicity of all people living within HQTAs using ArcGIS in both 2012 and 2040 based on 2017 population figures.

Clipped CA EV charging station data to LA County using zip codes. Refined address data to refer only to the 88 cities and unincorporated areas. Joined EV charging station data to CalEnviroScreen scores to determine CES score for each charging station.
PEV Registrations (provided by NREL/SCAG already aggregated for privacy by city): Refined address data to refer only to the 88 cities and unincorporated areas. Calculated PEV registrations at the city level and county-wide for 2014-2017. Excluded 2018 data as it is incomplete.

• Income and Living Wage:
o MIT calculates the “living wage” for selected geographies in the current year (http://livingwage.mit.edu/), presented as hourly pay rate for different household makeups.
o Historical data is unavailable through their website. MIT defines living wage as the minimum income to achieve financial independence and not be reliant on public assistance
o The Living Wage calculator presents these figures for different household makeups (for example, two working parents with two children, one adult, or a family of three with one working parent).
