Percentage of total population within a designated area that is identified as both “low income”
and having “low access” to healthy food. Low income is defined as Low income is defined as having an annual family income
at or below 200 percent of the Federal poverty threshold. Low access is defined as population that is beyond 1 mile for urban areas or 10 miles for rural areas from a supermarket.
Note that there are many ways to measure food access for individuals and for neighborhoods,
and many ways to define which areas are food deserts (neighborhoods that lack healthy food sources).

Monthly water quality index at active sampling sites. The Water Quality Index, or WQI, is a number ranging from 1 to 100; a higher number indicates better water quality. In general, stations scoring 80 and above met expectations for water quality and are of lowest concern, scores 40 to 80 indicate moderate concern, and water quality at stations with scores below 40 did not meet expectations and are of highest concern.
Quarterly median housing prices and Housing Affordability Index from Snohomish County and the state of Washington, per the University of Washington Runstad Department of Real Estate. Data available at: http://realestate.washington.edu/research/wcrer/housing-reports.
The Housing Affordability Index measures whether or not a typical family earns enough income to qualify for a mortgage loan on a typical home. A value of 100 means that a family with the median income has exactly enough income to qualify for a mortgage on a median-priced home. For example, a composite HAI of 120.0 means a family earning the median family income has 120% of the income necessary to qualify for a conventional loan covering 80 percent of a median-priced existing single-family home.
