NYC Equitable Zoning (NYCEZ) is a zoning system of NYC which considers data relibaility of 3 minority groups: population below poverty level, seniors above 67, and long commuters (>1 hour). The 2168 census tracts in NYC are aggregated with optimization. Average margin of error (MOE) percentages at census tract level of population above 67, population below poverty level, and population with a commute time above 1 hour are 15.22%, 50.07%, and 18.23%, respectively. After aggregation to the NYC Equitable Zones, MOE percentages become 8.02%, 12.33%, and 9.88%, respectively. Equitable Zones shown in Figure 5 simultaneously reduces the average MOE percentage of demographic data by 48% for seniors, 75% for low-income population, and 46% for long commuters.
