CalWORKs Recipients % per Tract

About the Data Source data for the dashboard at [Dashboard CalWORKs Recipients Rate] developed for the [LA County Poverty Alleviation Initiative] (PAI). This dataset will be updated quarterly. CalWORKs Recipients have been geocoded by their address on file. Commonly, a Department of Public Social Services (DPSS) office or other proxy address is used rather than the recipients actual home address. This can result in a % of total tract households higher than 100%. CalWORKs recipient data is the monthly average of recipients by quarter, and households data is from the American Community Survey 2024 5-Year data. CalWORKs recipient data have first been aggregated to the Census Tract level to protect privacy, so it is possible that the estimated number of recipients per Supervisor District or City / Unincorporated Area varies slightly from the actual number of recipients per district or community. This is because an entire tract is assigned to one district and community based on the location of the center of that tract. For more Information For more information about the LA County Poverty Alleviation Initiative, please visit [https://ceo.lacounty.gov/pai/]. This dataset was created as a collaboration between Los Angeles County's [Chief Information Office] and [Enterprise GIS] teams.
California Drinking Water System Area Boundaries (SABL)

In order to provide an accurate data set of service area boundaries for California drinking water systems, the Division of Drinking Water of the California Water Resources Control Board (SWRCB DDW) has undertaken a project to vet and verify the data collected by the Tracking California's?[Water Boundary Tool]?(WBT). SWRCB DDW downloaded a copy of the current water system service areas loaded in the WBT as of June 27, 2019. Additional attribute fields indicating verification status, verification staff and system type were appended to the data set. SWRCB DDW staff are reviewing and validating the displayed boundaries of each service area as well as contacting the service providers regarding necessary corrections. The verification status of any particular service area may be found in the Verification Status field. For any questions regarding this dataset, please contact the Data Support Unit at?[DDW-DSU@waterboards.ca.gov].

Oil and Gas Wells

This indicator provides information about the geographic locations of oil and gas wells. All records include operator name, field name, latitude, and longitude coordinates, well type, and well status. Oil and gas wells are located throughout Los Angeles County, including in residential areas. Living or working near oil and gas wells can lead to negative health effects. Additionally, oil and gas well activity can generate significant noise and vibrations in a community. Although Los Angeles County has approved a ban on all new oil and gas wells, with plans to phase out drilling over the next 20 years, potential hazards may remain. Regulation of existing oil and gas wells (both active and inactive) is critical to protecting public safety and the environment.

Green Zones Sensitive Use Buffers 500 ft

The Green Zones Ordinance was adopted by the Board of Supervisors on July 14, 2022. As stated in the summary [memo]: "The Green Zones Ordinance seeks to enhance public health and land use compatibility in the unincorporated communities that bear a disproportionate pollution burden and establish Countywide standards for recycling and waste management." For more information about the Green Zones Program, please visit our website [here]. Using the data layers for Sensitive Uses that were used in the Green Zones ordinance, these are the 500' buffers from sensitive uses within Green Zone Districts. Sensitive Uses include schools, dwelling units, playgrounds, nursing homes, hospitals and licensed day care facilities. UPDATE HISTORY: * 1/20/22 - Layer created * 6/1/22 - Layer was updated to remove non-conforming residential Assessor uses from within an industrial zone, which reduced some of the buffers within Avocado Heights, East Los Angeles, West Rancho Dominguez-Victoria, and Willowbrook. * 7/5/22 - Added one additional school that was missed previously (a High School and Charter School within SW Comm College in W. Athens), and added to the buffering there.

Homeless_Counts_2020

Overview These are the Homeless Counts for 2020 as provided by the Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority (LAHSA), and the cities of Glendale, Pasadena, and Long Beach. The majority of this data comes from LAHSA using tract-level counts; the cities of Glendale, Pasadena, and Long Beach did not have tract-level counts available. The purpose of this layer is to depict homeless density at a community scale. Please read the note from LAHSA below regarding the tract level counts. In this layer LAHSA's tract-level population count was rounded to the nearest whole number, and density was determined per square mile of each community. It should be noted that not all of the sub-populations captured from LAHSA (eg. people living in vans, unaccompanied minors, etc.) are not captured here; only sheltered, unsheltered, and total population. Data generated on 12/2/20. Countywide Statistical Areas Los Angeles County's 'Countywide Statistical Areas' layer was used to classify the city / community names. Since this is tract-level data there are several times where a tract is in more than one city/community. Whatever the majority of the coverage of a tract is, that is the community that got coded. The boundaries of these communities follow aggregated tract boundaries and will therefore often deviate from the 'Countywide Statistical Area' boundaries. Note from LAHSA LAHSA does not recommend aggregating census tract-level data to calculate numbers for other geographic levels. Due to rounding, the census tract-level data may not add up to the total for Los Angeles City Council District, Supervisorial District, Service Planning Area, or the Los Angeles Continuum of Care. The Los Angeles Continuum of Care does not include the Cities of Long Beach, Glendale, and Pasadena and will not equal the countywide Homeless Count Total. Street Count Data include persons found outside, including persons found living in cars, vans, campers/RVs, tents, and makeshift shelters.

General Plan Buildout Unincorporated

IMPORTANT NOTE: This data layer is a snapshot from when the General Plan Buildout was adopted in 2015. There have been some significant planning area throughout that time, including 5 major area plan updates done in 2023 and 2024 to accomodate additional housing projected by the 6th Cycle of the Housing Element. Some of the buildout information shown in this layer is outdated, and should be used with caution. Buildout for the General Plan 2035 for UNINCORPORATED areas of Los Angeles County. This layer is a combination of the Buildout for the General Plan 2035 and the Antelope Valley Area Plan, that was generated for the EIRs for both plans. The Board of Supervisors adopted both the Antelope Valley Area Plan and General Plan 2035 on 6/16/15 and 10/6/15, respectively. The Antelope Valley Area Plan contained the buildout for Antelope Valley which has the projected buildout to 2035. The buildout for the General Plan 2035 contained the projected buildout to 2035 as well as the buildout according to the adopted Land Use Policy of all the other Community / Area Plan, so it is important to note that only the areas covered by the General Plan and Antelope Valley Area Plan contain projections to the year 2035. Please see the ‘PLAN_NAME’ field for those areas covered by the plans listed below: * Altadena Community Plan – Uses Adopted Plan from 1986 * Antelope Valley Area Plan – Projected for 2035 * East Los Angeles Community Plan – Uses Adopted Plan from 1988 * General Plan 2035 – Projected for 2035 * Hacienda Heights Community Plan – Uses Adopted Plan from 2011 * Malibu Coastal Zone – Uses Plan from 1986 (during GP update process, this plan was updated, but didn’t make it into the GP EIR) * Marina Del Rey Land Use Plan – Uses Adopted Plan from 2012 * Rowland Heights Community Plan – Uses Adopted Plan from 1981 * Santa Catalina Island – Uses Adopted Plan from 1983 * Santa Clarita Valley Area Plan – Uses Adopted Plan from 2012 * Santa Monica Mountains North Area Plan – Uses Adopted Plan from 2000 * Twin Lakes Community Plan – Uses Adopted Plan from 1991 * Walnut Park Neighborhood Plan – Uses Adopted Plan from 1987 * West Athens – Westmont Community Plan – Uses Adopted Plan from 1990 In this layer there are the various density factors that went into calculating the final number. The fields depicting UNITS, POP, and EMP (Housing Units, Population, Employment / Jobs) will be of the most interest to people.

City and Unincorporated Community Boundary (LA County Planning)

This layer shows all incorporated and unincorporated areas of Los Angeles County. The incorporated city boundaries are maintained by the Department of Public Works as part of the cadastral landbase, and reflects the most current annexations as of the date listed below. The unincorporated areas are maintained by the Department of Regional Planning (aka LA County Planning) for land use planning efforts. This is especially important as it relates to the County's General Plan and various area, community, and neighborhood plan updates. Please see relevant links below for more related information: Department of Regional Planning (LA County Planning) - About [page].

Zoning (L.A. County Unincorporated)

This is the zoning layer for UNINCORPORATED areas of Los Angeles County. It does not draw at all scales because there are lots of records (so basically for speed and performance), so it is scale dependent. Also, why only for UNINCORPORATED areas? Because there are 88 cities in L.A. County and they each manage their zoning and land use information separately. For more complete information, see [Title 22 (Planning and Zoning)] of the Los Angeles County Code, or visit the Department of Regional Planning's website [here]. PLEASE NOTE: Santa Catalina Island is not included in this dataset. It is in a separate data layer since Catalina has specific zoning categories that differ from the Countywide zoning categories found in Title 22. The Department of Regional Planning performs all land use planning functions for the UNINCORPORATED areas of Los Angeles County. Our services include long range planning, land development counseling, project/case intake and processing, environmental review and zoning enforcement for each of our County UNINCORPORATED communities. What is an UNINCORPORATED area of Los Angeles County? There are 88 incorporated cities within Los Angeles County, each with its own city council. The areas that are NOT part of these cities are considered to be UNINCORPORATED County territory. More than 65 percent of Los Angeles County is UNINCORPORATED. For the approximately 1 million people living in these areas, the Board of Supervisors and County departments provide the municipal services.
