San Antonio Energy and Time Use Survey

For the first finding, job loss by race and ethnicity and by neighborhood, we see little difference by neighborhoods themselves. However, the expected racial inequalities are surely prevailing. Displayed is a chart of that representation.

Furthering our expansion of the key findings of the policy brief, we've decided to start off this series of posts explaining the sociodemographic characteristics of the two neighborhoods we studied, Elm Creek and Jefferson Heights.

Our policy brief is now published (here is the link: https://idser.utsa.edu/Index -featured then click the first link)

We have compiled a list of KEY FINDINGS from the policy brief, as they are the showcased/reviewed findings from the research and analysis.

Key Findings are as follows (in no particular order):
1. Most experienced hardships during pandemic
2. Racial inequalities prevailing in job loss
3. Disadvantaged neighborhoods possibly facing stalled employment recovery

Within the two contrasting neighborhoods researched, this data presents the economic hardships during the pandemic and concludes that targeted recovery assistance is needed.

Be sure to read the policy brief for details on all this!

Phase two has commenced and we are now touching further base on our newly proposed research questions we want answers to. This will ultimately help San Antonio's health, economy, and energy usage. Stay tuned for our policy brief findings as well.

Throughout the Spring semester, our team has been all hands on deck with this first list of activities that have been at the top of our project priorities. Thus far, we've gotten to the point where we are just about ready to release our Policy Brief and we cannot wait for you to read it and learn more about our project. Remember to follow us on all social media, as we will be updating our pages with much more information.
