Commissioner Jeff Rader /[email protected] / 404-371-2863 DISTRICT HIGHLIGHTS 6 Commissioner Biography Community Asset 7 DISTRICT 2 METHODOLOGY DEMOGRAPHIC DISTRICT 2 RESEARCH AND To obtain the estimates depicted in the charts and infographs found in this report, staff did an analysis of the area using Esri’s Community Analyst COMPARISON COMMITMENT: software. Community Analyst data contains estimates generated by Esri’s WE STRIVE TO GIVE OUR team of demographers, statisticians and analysts as well as data from the VERY BEST. US Census, the American Community Survey, administrative records and private sources. In order to analyze the spatial characteristics of certain features, data from the American Community Survey was downloaded from the Atlanta Regional Commission and mapped. This same set of data will also provide the basis for the proposed next steps at the end of the document. However, it is important to keep a few key facts in mind: 1. Estimates are just that; estimates. Additionally, each estimate has a margin of error or MOE. The MOE is a measure of the variability of the estimate due to sampling error. 2. The most current, accurate estimates for each feature were obtained. For comparative purposes, this means that only information from the same datasets can be compared. Looking for patterns between different vintages or sampling methods might yield less than accurate results. (The exception being information regarding the change in features over time.) Essentially, variety of methods/means used to compile this information results in minor discrepancies between them. Despite this, the data presented in this report is still valid information that comes from reputable agencies and can give us meaningful information about the population in the area we are discussing--bearing in mind analysts (and readers) are aware that these discrepancies exist. Commissioner Rader at the Peachtree Creek groundbreaking 8 Methodology 9 POPULATION District 2 This section highlights certain segments of the population in the unincorporated region of Commission District 2. What is the importance of this? The answer is simple: people and the built environment are inextricably linked. In order to understand a place, look no further than its residents. After all, each community develops its own specific character from its people. By identifying the characteristics of a population that inhabits a space, DeKalb County officials are able to make plans and policies to meet the unique needs of a given area. Therefore, in this section, the following attributes will be discussed: •Total population numbers •Race and Ethnicity HONESTY: •Age Cohorts and Median Age WE WILL BE HONEST WITH EACH •Educational Enrollment and Attainment OTHER AND OUR STAKEHOLDERS BY COMMUNICATING OPENLY AND •Vulnerable Members of the Population PROFESSIONALLY. 10 Population 11 The population for the entirety of District TOTAL

  • New Park Blooms Below Briarcliff Bridge by Sally Sears
    June 2021 Volume 36 | Number 2 CONTENTS 2021 Legislative Update 6 Meet DHCA’s Board 10 Surviving Spring Break 26 Create Pollinator Friendly Yard 29 New Park Blooms Below Briarcliff Bridge By Sally Sears Druid Hills neighbors driving on the Briarcliff Road Bridge across the South Fork of Peachtree Creek will soon see two acres of new parkland taking shape below, the first new park in Druid Hills in several years. The purchase of the property by DeKalb County earlier this year was led by DeKalb County Commissioner Jeff Rader. The county’s Department of Recreation, Parks and Cultural Affairs is now clearing the kudzu and invasive privet from the two-plus acres of flood plain at the northwest corner of the bridge and creek, creating a park and potential trail connections between Emory University and Zonolite Park. The idea for the park began a few years ago, when the Georgia Department of Trans- portation announced plans to replace the bridge on Briarcliff Road. This announcement offered opportunities to improve greenspace and watershed protection in the area. Members of South Fork Conservancy and Druid Hills Civic Association subsequently met over several months with neighbors from Friends of Herbert Taylor Park, Briar Hills, Victoria Estates, and Emory University to explore ideas and opportunities. The outline of suggestions included sidewalks on Briarcliff, access to trails along the creek, and new trails for connecting green space and public parks up and down the South Fork of Peachtree Creek. Neighborhood support led elected officials to explore purchasing the floodplain acres. A design provided by South Fork Conservancy and supported by the group called for a stormwater garden to slow and clean rainwater flowing into the creek, provide access from both sides of Briarcliff Road, and create a trail linking the new park to Herbert Taylor Park across the creek and to Zonolite Park downstream.
