Analyzing Accessibility of Essential Services and Opportunities for Tribal Nations — The U.S. Census Bureau and the Local Employment Dynamics (LED) Partnership – in collaboration with the Council for Community and Economic Research (C2ER) and the Labor Market Information (LMI) Institute – welcomes Darren Jiang, Liang Tian, and Paula Zumudio as they present, “Analyzing Accessibility of Essential Services and Opportunities for Tribal Nations.” This study explores the accessibility of essential services for tribal communities in the San Diego region by leveraging multidimensional data elements including LEHD Origin-Destination Employment Statistics (LODES), employment density, public service geographic data, broadband access data and demographic characteristics. Visualization of this analysis will help highlight the level of access tribal nations are currently experiencing. Additionally, investigating the feasibility of accessing these essential services may provide a more comprehensive view of what services are available, the quality of services, and what obstacles prevent or discourage the community from utilizing these essential services.
