About Equity Zones
As part of the park evaluation program, RPD monitors scores for parks in Equity Zones. An Equity Zone is a neighborhood harmed by historical environmental burdens. One example is hazardous pollution harmful to the air, water, or soil.
About Environmental Justice
Environmental justice is the equitable distribution of environmental benefits and the elimination of environmental burdens to promote healthy communities where all San Franciscans can thrive. The San Francisco Planning Department manages the Environmental Justice Framework. The Framework establishes a clear set of visions and priorities to advance health in communities of color and low-income communities. RPD uses this framework to identify the Equity Zone Parks.
About Equity Zone Parks
Reviewing scores in Equity Zone and non-Equity Zone parks can help us explore any differences between the two groups. RPD aims to have no difference in average scores between the two groups.
Key takeaways for FY 2024
There was no statistically significant difference between park scores inside and outside of Equity Zones. While individual parks may differ, there was no overall trend between the two groups.
