The Composite Equity Map was developed for the New Mexico Prioritized Statewide Bicycle Network Plan. The analysis assigned a score (1—4) to each census block group based on the concentration of six variables (age, race, income, educational attainment, limited English proficiency, and access to a vehicle), linked to historical underinvestment. A score of 1 indicates a low concentration of historically vulnerable populations and a score of 4 represents a high concentration of historically vulnerable populations.

To use this map, zoom to the proposed project location and click on the corresponding census block. A pop up will provide the equity score, to be used in the program application. If a project is included in two census blocks with different equity scores, provide the average of the two.
