Freight Near Areas of Persistent Poverty
A fact sheet titled "NCTCOG FACT SHEET October 2025" with the main heading "Areas of Persistent Poverty and Freight Facilities."The left side features an orange "QUICK TAKE" section summarizing the document:What: Analyzes the potential impacts of freight-related land uses (warehouses, distribution centers, rail yards, and manufacturing facilities) on communities in Areas of Persistent Poverty.Significance: Freight land uses have the potential to cause disproportionate impacts to minority and low-income populations.By the Numbers: 75.1% of all regional freight facilities are located within an Area of Persistent Poverty, compared to just 41.3% of regional rail line mileage that passes through these areas.The main body text discusses the tension between the economic benefits of freight facilities and the potential negative externalities (noise, pollution, safety hazards) on adjacent, often low-income communities.A photograph at the bottom shows a red railroad crossing signal with a train passing in the background, set against a backdrop of trees and a sunny sky. The caption reads: "Freight rail is important to the North Texas economy. But land use decisions around rail lines can improve quality of life. NCTCOG encourages 'Good Neighbor Strategies' to help."
