    Community Tree Priority Map

    Metadata Updated: February 25, 2026

    The City of Austin’s Community Tree Priority Map serves as a decision support tool to determine where to focus forestry activities in Austin, Texas. This map shows U.S. Census tracts (2010) containing tabular data related to community forestry priorities determined by the Community Tree Preservation Division’s Urban Forest Program. Prioritization is determined through the priority score. This score combines nine measures normalized and summarized into four broad categories. The score is aggregated at the neighborhood (U.S. Census tract) level. Scores can range from 0 to 100 with higher scores meaning a higher need for community forestry activities to achieve more equitable canopy distribution. Finally, the priority level provides a categorical representation of the data for a simplified view.

    Priority Score = ( Σ Natural Environment + Σ Social Vulnerability + Σ Community Investment + Σ Health & Well-Being ) / 4

    This map was updated in 2020. Minor updates are made as-needed with a review and data update scheduled for 2025 (every 5 years).

    Ultimately, this map is used to aggregate Urban Forest Grant/Portal projects and tree planting/distribution data to assess program performance.
