<p>Below are brief descriptions of the layers contained in the map:</p>


<p><b>County Boundaries</b>  This layer depicts the boundaries of California's Counties, as designated by the US Census.</p>

<p><b>Municipality-Population Counting Tool: Census Block Groups </b>  This layer depicts data from the US Census American Community Survey (ACS) showing Census Block Groups identified as having both: a population that is &le;20,000 people; and less than 85% of the State's median household income (MHI).  This layer can be used to obtain the population at each Census Block Group and can be used to evaluate whether a given municipality has a population that is &le;20,000 people. See notes 1, 2 &amp; 3, below. <a href="http://www.census.gov/programs-surveys/acs/guidance.html" target="_blank">More Info...</a></p>

This layer can be used to obtain populations at each Census Tract and can be used to evaluate whether a given municipality has a population that is &le;20,000 people. See notes 1, 2 &amp; 3, below. <a href="http://www.census.gov/programs-surveys/acs/guidance.html" target="_blank">More Info...</a></p>

<p><b>Unemployment Rate </b>  These two layers depict data from the California Employment Development Department (EDD) showing Counties and Census Places identified as having unemployment rates that are at least 2% higher than the statewide average. The statewide average unemployment rate is 6.2% for the year 2015, and thus those geographies having 8.2% and higher unemployment rates are shown. See notes 1, 4 &amp; 5, below. <a href="http://www.edd.ca.gov/pdf_pub_ctr/de8714aa.pdf" target="_blank">More Info Here...</a> and <a href="http://www.labormarketinfo.edd.ca.gov/data/unemployment-and-labor-force.html" target="_blank">Here...</a></p>

<p><b>General Notes:</b>
<ol>
<li>The data used in the current EDA Mapping Tool is from the US Census American Community Survey (ACS), 5-year dataset for the period: 2010-2014, for all data reported, with the exception of "unemployment rate", which is from the California Employment Development Department (EDD), for the year 2015.</li>
<li>The statewide MHI is $61,489 for 2010-2014, as reported by the US Census; thus, the 85% MHI is calculated at: $52,266.</li>
<li> Where MHI data is not available, as reported by the US Census, a value of "$0 MHI" is shown in the EDA Mapping Tool (for all US Census geographies, i.e., Census Places, Tracts, and Block Groups).</li>
<li>The statewide average unemployment rate is 6.2% for the year 2015, as reported by the EDD.</li>
<li> Where unemployment rate data is not available ("Unemployment Rate-Census Places" layer) from the EDD, a value of "0" is shown as the unemployment rate value in the EDA Mapping Tool.</li>
<li> The definitions for US Census Places, Tracts, and Block Groups can be found <a href="http://www.census.gov/geo/reference/terms.html" target="_blank">Here...</a></li>
