Mortality is measured in years of lives lost (YLL). The YLL Method was developed from the Global Burden of Disease 2015 Study. This method compares the age for each death to the life expectancy for that person. This Indicator then takes the total number of YLL for each category and creates a rate of YLL per 100,000 people per year. Data is from 2014-2016.

This Indicator measures the hourly wage for all workers ages 16 and older and compares it to the 2016 Oakland living wage ($14.86 per hour). Hourly wages are calculated by dividing the total person’s earnings by the product of the weeks worked and the usual hours worked per week during the past 12 months. The weeks worked variable was set to the midpoint of the interval included in the ACS data. Only workers with non-zero earnings, who were not self- employed or unpaid family workers, and who were at work or had a job but were not at work last week were included in the analysis.

The measurement is percent of students by race/ethnicity who are not high school ready by the end of 8th grade. High school readiness is calculated by OUSD. A student is considered high school ready when all of the following have been met at the end of 8th grade: 1) Total weighted GPA of 2.5 of better, 2) School Attendance 96% or better, 3) No “Ds” or “Fs” in their core English and Math course grades in 8th grade, 4) No suspensions in 8th grade.

This Indicator measures the percent of individuals who live in housing units that do not have complete kitchen facilities. Complete kitchen facilities include a stove or range, a refrigerator, and a sink with a faucet.

This Indicator measures what percent of 12th grade students have never taken an AP course throughout high school. OUSD collects data on the cumulative enrollment of 12th graders in AP courses by race/ethnicity, i.e. how many AP courses have they taken at any point in high school? Advanced Placement (AP) is a program created by The College Board offering college- level courses and tests in high school.

This Indicator measures the rate of sworn staff in OPD per 100,000 people of the same race/ethnicity in Oakland, in other words how representative are the sworn staff of the Oakland population? Numbers of sworn staff are as of February 28, 2018.
