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 twelve metrics: four that
are generated by California (poverty percentile, housing burden percentile,
unemployment percentile, and tribal land designations), and one generated by
San Diego State University (trail density), and seven generated by the United
States Census Bureau (American Indian or Alaska Native race alone and
multirace population concentration, Hispanic/Latino population concentration,
Black/African American population concentration, Hispanic and/or Black,
Indigenous or Person of Color (HSPBIPOC), Asian population concentration,
multi-race not American Indian population concentration, low income population
concentration). Resilience at the element level is represented by the average
condition of five metrics (indicated by asterisks): poverty percentile,
housing burden percentile, unemployment percentile, tribal land designations,
and trail density). The condition scores for each of these metrics are
averaged to derive a condition score for the equitable opportunity element.

* Metric Name: Element Representation: Equitable Opportunity  

* Translation: Where is equitable opportunity greatest?  

* Translation method and outcome: Values **** range from +1 to -1 representing more favorable to less favorable conditions, respectively. **** The proposition of more favorable is based on the objective of more equitable opportunity.
