2022 Disproportionately Impacted Areas

About this dataset

This dataset lists census tracts that are recommended for identification as disproportionately impacted areas, according to Public Act 21-1, An Act Concerning Responsible and Equitable Regulation of Adult-Use Cannabis. "Disproportionately impacted area" means a census tract in the state that has a historical conviction rate for drug-related offenses greater than one-tenth, or an unemployment rate greater than ten percent, as determined by the Social Equity Council. This list of disproportionately impacted areas is expected to be considered by the Social Equity Council at the October 18, 2022 meeting.
