Figure 1, below, shows the service area covered by the Ferndale WWTF, and identifies the United States Census Bureau census tracts and block groups7 included within the service area, including Humboldt County Tract 112, Block groups 1, 2, and 3. In order to conduct the analysis to determine financial hardship, staff reviewed datasets available through the Xxxxxx.xxx portal at: xxxxx://xxxx.xxxxxx.xxx/cedsci/. At the time of this review, the most recent available economic data are from the United States Census Bureau’s ongoing 5-year estimates, and the most recent available 5-year estimate with block group data is that for 2019. Datasets staff reviewed to determine financial hardship included those for Total Population (B01003); Number of Households (B19001); Median Household Income weighted by number of households (B19013); Employment Status (B23025); and Ratio of Individuals Below the Poverty Line (C17002). Accessing the U.S. census link above, staff entered individual dataset numbers into the search window, then filtered the results for each dataset, filtering Geography to: Block Group/California/Humboldt County/All Block Groups within Humboldt County; filtering Years to 2019; and filtering Surveys to ACS 5-Year Estimates Detailed Tables. Table 1, below, shows the results of staff’s analysis.

In order to conduct the analysis to determine financial hardship, Regional Water Board staff reviewed datasets available through the Xxxxxx.Xxx portal at xxxxx://xxxx.xxxxxx.xxx/cedsci/. At the time of this review, the most recent available economic data are from the United States Census Bureau ongoing 5-year estimates for 2018. To determine the Financial Hardship these table numbers, B01003, B19013, B23025, and B17017 were identified as providing the necessary information (data) at the block group level. To gather the data, Regional Water Board staff accessed the link above by searching each table number and filtered the results by clicking the filter tab on the top left of the page and selected these options systematically: Geography, Block group, California, Mendocino County, Census Tracts, and Tracts Block Groups. Table 1, below, shows the results of the staff’s analysis.
