Rationale for the Los Angeles Neighborhood Land Trust: The Inequity of Park Resources in the City of Los Angeles Provided by Los Angeles Neighborhood Land Trust

Statistics used in this presentation are from “Parks and Park Funding In Los Angeles: An Equity Mapping Analysis,” by Jennifer Wolch, John P. Wilson and Jed Fehrenbach, Sustainable Cities Program, GIS Research Laboratory, University of Southern California, May 2002

Communities of Color Typically Live in Neighborhoods With High Population Densities

Latino and African-American Neighborhoods have a Higher Percentage of Children Under 18

Yet Communities of Color Have Far Less Park Acres Than Do White-Dominated Neighborhoods

These Same Communities of Color Also Have Far Fewer Park Acres Per Population of Children

LANLT Was Created to Help Alleviate the Inequity in Park Resources in the City of Los Angeles
