701 Park Access and Schools for Children with No Access to a Car
There are unfair park, school, and health disparities by Supervisorial District.

Thus, for example, District 2 (Burke) in the south county has .93 net acres of urban parks per thousand residents, compared to 28.97 net acres in District 5 (Antonovich) in the north county.

The disparities are even more dramatic if total acres of parks are included. There are 1.18 acres of total parks per thousand residents in District 2 (Burke), and 366.04 in District 5 (Antonovich).

District 2 is disproportionately populated by people of color and low income people, while District 5 is disproportionately white and wealthy.

These facts are illustrated in Chart 701C and Graph 701N.
