LA Park Needs Assessment Maps
TPL identifies potential park sites using advanced computer models created with Geographic Information System (GIS) software to analyze community data. We then overlay these GIS maps with census data such as proximity to a park, income, family size, age, education level and ethnicity. The end result, a Greenprint, helps communities make informed decisions about land conservation, galvanizes public support and directs resources to where they are most needed.
Los Angeles Needs Assessment Maps
The maps below show park needs assessments for Northern and Southern Los Angeles County.
Understanding the maps: Highest need areas are identified in dark red (this is where Parks for People-LA is concentrating its efforts) The green circles indicate quarter-mile service areas around existing parks. People living outside of these quarter-mile areas are under-served by park resources.
Please use the zoom feature within Adobe Acrobat for street level detail.
