The Priority Score represents the urgency / priority for investing in expanding the tree canopy for a particular CBG. It is the weighted sum of four parameters: the tree canopy quartile, the income quartile, the percent of available plantable acreage, and the percent of available plantable acreage covered by vegetation (i.e., not asphalt).
The two quartile parameters – Tree Canopy and Median Household Income – are assigned a value based on the quartile: 1st Quartile (0.4), 2nd Quartile (0.3), 3rd Quartile (0.2), 4th Quartile (0.1). The highest possible total raw score is 2.8, which we normalize (dividing by 2.8) to a value from 0 to 1.
