Purpose

We began the Equity Analysis with the goal of identifying Equity Focus Areas in Delaware in order to:

  • Make informed investment decisions
  • Provide data for public outreach and engagement strategies
  • Create a standardized tool for DelDOT (and potentially other state agencies) to identify disadvantaged communities as required by HCR40 related to Justice40 (EO 14008)
