# Version 2.0 Release update - Dec 19, 2024
|
||
|
||
## New & Improved
|
||
- Added the low income burden to American Samoa, Guam, the Mariana Islands, and the U.S. Virgin Islands
|
||
- Tracts in these territories that are completely surrounded by disadvantaged tracts and exceed an adjusted low income threshold are now considered disadvantaged
|
||
- Additionally, census tracts in these four Territories are now considered disadvantaged if they meet the low income threshold only, because these Territories are not included in the nationally-consistent datasets on environmental and climate burdens used in the tool
|
||
Updated the data in the workforce development category to the Census Decennial 2020 data for the U.S. territories of Guam, Virgin Islands, Northern Mariana Islands, and American Samoa
|
||
- Made improvements to the low income burden to better identify college students before they are excluded from that burden’s percentile
|
||
- Census tracts that were disadvantaged under version 1.0 continue to be considered as disadvantaged in version 2.0
|
||
## Technical Fixes
|
||
- For tracts that have water boundaries, e.g. coastal or island tracts, the water boundaries are now excluded from the calculation to determine if a tract is 100% surrounded by disadvantaged census tracts
|
||
## User Interface Improvements
|
||
- Added the ability to search by census tract ID
|
||
- The basemap has been updated to use a free, open source map |
