Communities of Interest Report

A community of interest is a geographic area in which its residents have shared interests. A community of interest could be a town, a neighborhood, a school district, or any compact and contiguous area where the population is of the same race, language group, country of origin, or income group. The Communities of Interest Report analyzes the plan’s impact on these communities. The report provides a detailed listing of all the splits, indicating which communities are enclosed or split by district boundaries, with totals and percentages listed for user-selected demographic fields (e.g., population, white, black, native American, Hispanic, etc.). The first part of the report lists all communities in alphabetical order and the districts they are in. The second part of the report lists all communities by district. The listed areas may optionally be sorted by the values of an attribute field (e.g., county). You can also limit the list to those areas that are split by district boundaries. The third part of the report computes displays summary statistics on the splits including how many communities have and have not been split, the number of communities split into two pieces, three pieces, etc., and the total number of splits. The price for this report is $1,500.
