Environmental Justice Analysis of Minority Areas
The Minority Areas, as shown on the map below, are the 2010 Census Tracts with over half of the population as minorities. The population of 2010 Census Minority Areas totaled 4,136 people, or 5.9 percent of the City of Muncie population of 70,085. The minority areas (highlighted in light green) are comprised of the Whiteley Neighborhood in the northeast and the Industry Neighborhood south of the downtown.
There are no federal-aid projects planned within the minority areas. The Kitselman Gateway projects abut a minority area, providing their residents with access to new bicycle/pedestrian facilities east of the downtown.
