snippet:	DelDOT Equity Focus Areas 2024. EFA Designations were derived by conducting analysis using DelDOT's Equity Focus Area methodology. DelDOT's Equity Focus Area methodology is a hybridized adaptation of WILMAPCO's EJ Methodology and Massachusetts EEA EJ Criteria. Analysis was conducted using IPUMS NHGIS derived geographic features that correspond to summary data from the U.S. 2022 American Community Survey, within Delaware, at the geographic summary level of Block Group. Block Groups were clipped to Residential LULC classifications using FirstMap's 2022 Land Use Land Cover dataset. Analysis was conducted by Pennoni in Summer of 2024 through January of 2025 to develop an updated version 2 of the Equity Focus Areas in Delaware, using 2018-2022 ACS 5-year summary block group data.
