HCD released a new map layer in its interactive Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing (AFFH) Data Viewer that jurisdictions can use in their analysis of racially concentrated areas of poverty and affluence as required by Assembly Bills 686 and 1304. According to HCD, Racially Concentrated Areas of Affluence (RCAAs) were “originally developed by scholars at the University of Minnesota to illustrate the flip side of the Racially and Ethnically Concentrated Areas of Poverty metric used by HUD in the 2015 AFFH rule and to tell the story of segregation more fully.” This new version has been adjusted to better account for California’s diversity and regional conditions.
