I let data astute people interested in policy know. This is what came back, lots of really good stuff here. Prepared by consultants for the City of Austin, the 2020 report is entitled "City of Austin Comprehensive Housing Report", but it's much more. https://austintexas.gov/sites/default/files/files/Housing/Austin%20HMA final.pdf I've taken a photo of one chart below, which to me was a pretty good proxy for generalized socio economic grouping from 2013 when your predecessors created a map. Next to that is how the City has evolved since. My reading of the charter is that this map is a solid place to center identification of communities of interest ‐ but the last ICRC chose another approach ‐ it's your turn, and our best hope is that every map iteration improves on the hard work of those who came before. 4) the geographic integrity of any local neighborhood or local community of interest shall be respected in a manner that minimizes their division to the extent possible without violating the requirements of any of the preceding subsections. A community of interest is a contiguous population that shares common social and economic interests that should be included within a single district for purposes of its effective and fair representation. Communities of interest shall not include relationships with political parties, incumbents, or political candidates. This wasn't the only response I got, but as it's a public City asset, it seemed like the best first response. Please don't hesitate to ask if more of any type of data might be helpful. Time is short, and it takes a village. Thanks again ‐ your time commitment and effort is extraordinary!
