 "description": "To assist communities in identifying\nracially/ethnically-concentrated areas of poverty (R/ECAPs), HUD has developed\na census tract-based definition of R/ECAPs. The definition involves a\nracial/ethnic concentration threshold and a poverty test. The racial/ethnic\nconcentration threshold is straightforward: R/ECAPs must have a non-white\npopulation of 50 percent or more. Regarding the poverty threshold, Wilson\n(1980) defines neighborhoods of extreme poverty as census tracts with 40\npercent or more of individuals living at or below the poverty line. Because\noverall poverty levels are substantially lower in many parts of the country,\nHUD supplements this with an alternate criterion. Thus, a neighborhood can be a\nR/ECAP if it has a poverty rate that exceeds 40% or is three or more times the\naverage tract poverty rate for the metropolitan/micropolitan area, whichever\nthreshold is lower. Census tracts with this extreme poverty that satisfy the\nracial/ethnic concentration threshold are deemed R/ECAPs. This translates into\nthe following equation: Where i represents\ncensus tracts, () is the metropolitan/micropolitan (CBSA) mean tract poverty\nrate,  is the ith tract poverty rate, () is the\nnon-Hispanic white population in tract i, and Pop is the population\nin tract i.While this definition of\nR/ECAP works well for tracts in CBSAs, place outside of these geographies are\nunlikely to have racial or ethnic concentrations as high as 50 percent. In\nthese areas, the racial/ethnic concentration threshold is set at 20 percent. \n\nData Source: American Community Survey (ACS), 2009-2013; Decennial Census (2010); Brown Longitudinal Tract Database (LTDB) based on decennial census data, 1990, 2000 & 2010.\n\nRelated AFFH-T Local Government, PHA  Tables/Maps: Table 4, 7; Maps 1-17.\nRelated AFFH-T  State Tables/Maps: Table 4, 7; Maps 1-15, 18.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nReferences:Wilson, William J.
