At King County, we believe increasing access to technology and the internet improves the quality of life.

We want to better understand how residents use technology, as well as barriers preventing residents from getting connected. The findings from the study will help us better serve our community and ensure all residents have the resources to succeed.

The King County Prosecuting Attorney’s Office (KCPAO) created this dashboard in 2020 to help better inform the public, government decision makers, and criminal justice system partners about the trajectory of felony criminal justice cases in King County. The KCPAO handles the vast majority of felonies in King County and some misdemeanors. Misdemeanor crimes are low-level offenses punishable by up to 364 days in jail. Felony crimes are more serious offenses and may result in a prison sentence of more than one year. This dashboard only provides data on felony referrals and cases filed into King County Superior Court; it does not contain any data on cases in King County District Court or the various Municipal Courts. The data that populates this dashboard comes from the KCPAO and, where noted, the King County Department of Judicial Administration about cases filed or intended to be filed in King County Superior Court.

This web map displays data from the voter registration database as the percent of registered voters by census tract in King County, Washington.

The data for this web map is compiled from King County Elections voter registration data for the years 2013-2019. The total number of registered voters is based on the geo-location of the voter's registered address at the time of the general election for each year. The eligible voting population, age 18 and over, is based on the estimated population increase from the US Census Bureau and the Washington Office of Financial Management and was calculated as a projected 6 percent population increase for the years 2010-2013, 7 percent population increase for the years 2010-2014, 9 percent population increase for the years 2010-2015, 11 percent population increase for the years 2010-2016 & 2017, 14 percent population increase for the years 2010-2018 and 17 percent population increase for the years 2010-2019. The total population 18 and over in 2010 was 1,517,747 in King County, Washington. The percentage of registered voters represents the number of people who are registered to vote as compared to the eligible voting population, age 18 and over.

The voter registration data by census tract was grouped into six percentage range estimates: 50% or below, 51-60%, 61-70%, 71-80%, 81-90% and 91% or above with an overall 84 percent registration rate. In the map the lighter colors represent a relatively low percentage range of voter registration and the darker colors represent a relatively high percentage range of voter registration. PDF maps of these data can be viewed at King County Elections downloadable voter registration maps.

The King County Demographics Layer is census data for language, income, poverty, race and ethnicity at the census tract level and is based on the 2010-2014 American Community Survey 5 year Average provided by the United States Census Bureau.

The demographic data sets were developed and are maintained by King County Staff to support the King County Equity and Social Justice program. Other data for this map is located in the King County GIS Spatial Data Catalog, where data is managed by the King County GIS Center, a multi-department enterprise GIS in King County, Washington.

Racial/ethnic health disparities are higher rates of serious health conditions or deaths that affect communities of color. These disparities can result in shorter lifespans and lower quality of life, are rooted in inequities in the opportunities and resources needed for good health, such as education, employment, safe and healthy neighborhoods, and access to health care. These inequities are often the result of current and historical institutionalized racism or explicit racial bias.
