Equity Atlas - Gardopia Gardens

By utilizing the City of San Antonio’s Equity Atlas, an equity-focused mapping tool, Gardopia Gardens is able to identify underserved areas within the city that could benefit most from the establishment of urban gardens. This aligns with their goals of promoting sustainable agriculture, improving access to fresh produce, and creating educational opportunities for local communities about healthy living practices.

The maps and census tract scores provided by the City of San Antonio’s Office of Equity allow Gardopia Gardens to make informed decisions about where to locate new gardens, ensuring that their efforts contribute effectively to reducing disparities in access to green spaces and healthy food options

The scores that range from 2 to 10 are a combined score of the race and income tabs, indicating that the higher the number, the higher the concentration of both people of color and low income households in that census tract.
