Equitable opportunity is the fair treatment and meaningful involvement of all
people regardless of race, color, national origin or income regarding the
development, implementation and enforcement of environmental laws, regulations
policies and land management.

The equitable opportunity element is described by of three metrics that are
generated by California (poverty percentile, housing burden percentile and
unemployment percentile) and six metrics that are generated by the US Census
Bureau (American Indian or Alaska Native Race Alone population concentration,
Hispanic/Latino population concentration, Black/African American population
concentration, Hispanic and/or Black, Indigenous or Person of Color
(HSPBIPOC), Asian population concentration, and Low Income population
concentration). The current condition of the Equitable Opportunity element is
represented by three metrics, poverty percentile, housing burden percentile,
and unemployment percentile (indicated by asterisks). The condition score for
the element is calculated as the average of the condition scores for the three
metrics.
