The four categories are Economy, Livability, Accessibility, and Environment.
- Economy: opportunities for wealth creation and retention (e.g., poverty, unemployment, income, education, job density).
- Livability: safe and healthy standard of living (e.g., housing cost burden, home ownership, life expectancy, crime index, graduation rates).
- Accessibility: resources and services that enable full participation in public life (e.g., parks, healthy food, pedestrian/bike facilities, internet access, voter participation).
- Environment: environmental health and impacts on community vitality (e.g., diesel emissions, PM2.5, toxic release risk, traffic density).
