The Composite Index includes sub-indices of:

**Race, English Language Learners, and Origins Index **

ranks census tracts by an index of three measures weighted as follows:

Persons of color (weight: 1.0)
English language learner (weight: 0.5)
Foreign born (weight: 0.5)

Socioeconomic Disadvantage Index

ranks census tracts by an index of two equally weighted measures:

Income below 200% of poverty level
Educational attainment less than a bachelor’s degree

**Health Disadvantage Index **

ranks census tracts by an index of seven equally weighted measures:

No leisure-time physical activity
Diagnosed diabetes
Obesity
Mental health not good
Asthma
Low life expectancy at birth
Disability

The index does not reflect population densities, nor does it show variation within census tracts which can be important considerations at a local level.
