The Hispanic category is an ethnic, rather than a racial, distinction. These tables therefore include only non-Hispanic
individuals in the black, white, and Asian/other categories to avoid double-counting.

(census tract information)
Thus, in comparison to the adjacent cities and the county, the census tracts contiguous with the project area
cannot be considered a high minority population area.
Income
Information on median household income in the census tracts contiguous with the receiver sites, as well as
median incomes of the contiguous jurisdictional cities and the county in general, are presented in Table 3.8-
9.
Six of the twelve census tracts contiguous with the project area have median household incomes greater
than the median household income for the San Diego Region, although many of the median incomes within
the census tract are less than those in the jurisdictional cities. The median incomes within the affected tracts
are close to the county median incomes, with the exception of Imperial Beach. The median income of the
coastal census tract within this city is substantially higher than the rest of Imperial Beach, however,
indicating that the affected tract does not contain a disproportionately low-income populationwithin the City
of Imperial Beach.
