Chollas Creek Watershed <\/h4>
\n

Chollas Creek is part of the greater Pueblo Watershed and was a prominent settlement for the Kumeyaay peoples due to the area’s rich biological diversity and geologic assets. Today, Chollas Creek runs through multiple neighborhoods as it flows from La Mesa<\/a> to San Diego Bay. Many community members continue to be stewards of their environment through lifestyle choice and community involvement, working to preserve the rich ecology of the area and create healthier neighborhoods. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

The households range from family oriented households, often multi-generational, to retirees, singles or recent college graduates starting their careers and independent life. The zip codes in Oak Park are 92105 and 92115.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

People <\/h4>
\n

Residents in Chollas Creek are environmentally conscious, follow trends, and like a good bargain. All age groups use technology to varying degrees though many are not dependent on technology. Unemployment is high in some areas, but labor force participation is average or above average throughout Chollas Creek. The workforce of this community tends towards hard working blue collar laborers with a significant portion of the population having obtained some college education or earned a college degree. Women’s paid employment can be low in this area because many women stay at home to care for children or aging parents. There are many car enthusiasts among these neighborhoods, who love owning fun-to-drive vehicles. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Environment <\/h4>
\n

Chollas Creek has many areas with high pollution scores and low incomes as calculated by CalEnviroScreen<\/a>, representing a population vulnerable to pollution related issues. \u200b\u200b High rates of dust and pollution particles in disadvantaged communities may increase the spread of viruses, worsening the COVID-19 crisis in communities with already low defenses. These environmental qualities could qualify some residents for rebates and incentives for Solar Power<\/a>, Plug-In Vehicles<\/a> (and EV Charging), or Energy Storage<\/a> installations, lowering the cost of these installations. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Climate Equity Index <\/h4>
\n

Climate Equity Index refers to the opportunity communities have to combat environmental justice and social equity concerns. Climate Equity Index is low throughout Chollas Creek, so it is eligible for many government funding opportunities to help combat climate change and improve social equity. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Energy Independence <\/h4>
\n

Many residents and business owners in Oak Park are interested in utilizing technology that is eco-friendly and improves quality of life. Solar energy systems<\/a> are increasingly affordable, especially after energy efficiency measures reduce use<\/a>, and incentives and financing options reduce the up front cost. Installing solar energy helps reduce energy costs while creating energy independence, which is especially useful during the peak use hours, rolling brown outs, or planned power outages<\/a>. \u200b<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
