Hot Spot Maps:  These maps identify ‘hot spots’ of Politically Vulnerable Communities, which are defined by the CCEP as low-turnout communities where residents face multiple disadvantages in terms of economic, educational and health outcomes (based on the CCEP’s calculated Index of Political Vulnerability).*

Two-layer Maps:  These maps show registered voter turnout overlaid with individual economic, educational and health outcome data.  Factors examined include education (low high-school graduation rates, a lack of post-secondary education), economic factors (poverty, high unemployment rate, not having access to a vehicle), health (poor environmental health, high teen birth rates, premature mortality) and civic access (limited English proficiency, percent of eligible voters).  

Registered Voter Turnout Maps (one-layer maps):  These maps present the registered voter turnout of Latinos and Asian-Americans, and of the general population in California.  Detailed static maps offer a statewide geographic view, and cover five key regions: the San Francisco Bay Area, the San Joaquin Valley and the greater Los Angeles, Sacramento, and San Diego areas.
