The City of Austin’s Community Tree Priority Map (formerly Planting Prioritization) serves as a decision support tool to determine where to focus forestry activities in Austin, Texas. This map shows U.S. Census tracts (2010) containing tabular data related to community forestry priorities determined by the Community Tree Preservation Division’s Urban Forest Program. Prioritization is determined through the priority score. This score combines nine measures normalized and summarized into four broad categories. The score is aggregated at the neighborhood (U.S. Census tract) level. Scores can range from 0 to 100 with higher scores meaning a higher need for community forestry activities to achieve more equitable canopy distribution. Finally, the priority level provides a categorical representation of the data for a simplified view.

Priority Score = ( Σ Natural Environment + Σ Social Vulnerability + Σ Community Investment + Σ Health & Well-Being ) / 4

This map was updated in 2020. Minor updates are made as-needed with a review and data update scheduled for 2025 (every 5 years).

Ultimately, this map is used to aggregate Urban Forest Grant/Portal projects and tree planting/distribution data to assess program performance.

This is a custom query against the larger data set "Issued Construction Permits". This subset of data is looking only at residential demolition permits issued, including both total demolitions (identified by the "work class" of Demolition) and partial demolitions (identified by the *partial demolition* tag in the folder description). The intent is to answer a question raised about the ratio of partial to total demolitions.
