<DIV STYLE="text-align:Left;"><DIV><DIV><P><SPAN>EJScreen is an environmental justice (EJ) screening and mapping tool that provides EPA with a nationally consistent dataset and methodology for calculating "EJ indexes," which can be used for highlighting places that may be candidates for further review, analysis, or outreach as the agency develops programs, policies and other activities. The tool provides both summary and detailed information at the Census block group level or a user-defined area for both demographic and environmental indicators. The summary information is in the form of EJ Indexes and Supplemental which combine demographic information with a single environmental indicator (such as proximity to traffic) that can help identify communities living in areas with greater potential for environmental and health impacts. The tool also provides additional detailed demographic and environmental information to supplement screening analyses. EJScreen displays this information in color-coded maps, bar charts, and standard reports. Users should keep in mind that screening tools are subject to substantial uncertainty in their demographic and environmental data, particularly when looking at small geographic areas, such as Census block groups. Data on the full range of environmental impacts and demographic factors in any given location are almost certainly not available directly through this tool, and its initial results should be supplemented with additional information and local knowledge before making any judgments about potential areas of EJ concern.</SPAN></P></DIV></DIV></DIV>

The goal of EJScreen is to provide a nationally consistent environmental justice screening tool. The EJScreen Block Group Data is built from a number of sources. They are described fully in the technical document "EJScreen Data Processing Summary" from December 2021. There are three primary categories of indicators used to evaluate the vulnerability of a block group: Socioeconomic Indicators, Pollution and Sources, and Environmental Justice Indexes. The spatial data source is the Census Bureau's TIGER/Line 2020 block group boundaries for the 50 states, District of Columbia and Puerto Rico. The 2020 TIGER is required for use with the 2016-2020 ACS 5-year Summary datasets. The spatial dataset contains 2022 block groups. Block group ID's, state names and state abbreviations were added from Census data, and EPA Regions are also assigned based on the state. The data for the socioeconomic indicators is from the Census Bureau's 2016-2020 American Community Survey (ACS) 5-year Summary datasets. The socioeconomic indicators are pulled from ACS block group level tables. Seven socioeconomic indicators are derived from these ACS inputs (% people of color; % low income; % limited English Speaking; % less than high school education; % under age 5; % over age 64; % unemployment). The first 2 of these indicators are used to create the Demographic Index--(% people of color + % low income) / 2. This number is multiplied by the environmental indicators listed in the paragraphs below to produce an EJ index for each environmental indicator. There are twelve different indicators for Pollution and Sources (previously called Environmental Indicators). The data for these come from multiple different sources. The Lead paint environmental indicator is "Percent Houses Built before 1960." The data are derived from the American Community Survey (ACS) 2016-2020 5-year Summary, block group-level estimates. The ACS information on lead paint is captured in the table Year Structure Built (ACS Table ID: B25034). The non-attainment concentrations for 2018 Ozone and Particulate Matter 2.5 constitute additional environmental indicators. The data are provided as a spreadsheet by EPA’s OAQPS using a fusion of monitor data and Community Multiscale Air Quality (CMAQ) air quality modeling. For more information about the methods used, see EPA Report EPA-454/S-15-001. The current source data is from October 2021. The AirToxScreen data, which is part of EPA’s 2017 Air Toxics Data Update, are used for three indicators: Air Toxics Cancer Risk, Air Toxics Respiratory HI, and Diesel Particulate Matter. The data were provided by the Office of Air Quality Planning and Standards (OAQPS) of EPA in November 2021. For the Air Toxics Cancer Risk, Air Toxics Respiratory HI, Diesel Particulate Matter, Ozone, and Particulate Matter 2.5 indicators, the source data is compiled by 2010 Census tract. This data is reallocated to 2020 tracts by use of a 2010 to 2020 tracts relationship table provided by the Census Bureau. The resulting 2020 tract input is then assigned to 2020 block groups. The tract values are repeated for each child-level block group. The Traffic Proximity environmental indicator is created using highway segments from the Highway Performance Monitoring System (HPMS) lines from the 2019 HPMS release, Federal Highway Administration, US Department of Transportation. Proximity scores are calculated by assigning distance weighted scores to Census blocks (distance between block centroids and highway segments). To create the Superfund Proximity environmental indicator, final and proposed NPL sites were downloaded from the Superfund Enterprise Management System (SEMS) website on April 26, 2022. Proximity scores are calculated by assigning distance-weighted scores to 2020 Census blocks (distance between block centroids and facilities). To create the RMP Facility Proximity environmental indicator, RMP facilities are pulled from EPA’s Facility Registry Service (FRS) by selecting facilities included in the RMP National Program System. The source data was pulled on April 26, 2022. Proximity scores are calculated by assigning distance-weighted scores to 2020 Census blocks (distance between block centroids and facilities). For the Hazardous Waste Proximity environmental indicator, the source data consist of 665 Treatment, Storage and Disposal Facilities (TSDFs) of hazardous waste from EPA’s RCRAInfo and 18,142 LQG records from the 2019 BR. The source data was pulled on April 26, 2022. Proximity scores are calculated by assigning distance weighted scores to 2020 Census blocks (distance between block centroids and facilities). The Wastewater Discharge environmental indicator is based 2019 RSEI modeled outflows using DMR and TRI. The toxic concentrations were assigned to National Hydrography Dataset stream segments. Proximity scores are calculated by assigning inverse distance weighted scores to 2020 Census blocks (distance between block centroids and stream segments), and the weighted scores are then multiply by Toxic Concentrations to produce the final block scores. For the environmental indicators of Traffic Proximity, Superfund Proximity, RMP Facility Proximity, Hazardous Waste Proximity, and Wastewater Discharge, the results are aggregated to the parent block group using the population weight for each block within the block group. The population weights come from the 2020 Census. The Underground Storage Tanks (UST) environmental indicator scores are provided by EPA Office of Underground Storage Tanks, July 7, 2022. The UST indicator is derived by the weighted sum of active leaking USTs and sum of active and temporarily out of service USTs divided by the buffered areas of 2020 block groups. The score is then joined to 2020 block groups. The Environmental Justice Indexes are created by taking the block group value for a given Pollution and Sources indicator and multiplying it by the Demographic Index of the block group. There are 12 EJ Indexes, one for each Pollution and Sources indicator. In addition to generating EJ indexes for each environmental indicator described above, further processing was performed to create table elements for reporting, query and statistical analysis. The additional processing steps include creating percentiles (0 to 100), bins (grouping percentiles from 0 to 11), and text descriptions of indicators and indexes. The data now includes, from a separate processing step, the US Territories of American Samoa, Guam, Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, and the US Virgin Islands. American Samoa, Guam, and Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands use 2013 Census Place boundaries. The US Virgin Islands use 2013 Census Estate boundaries. The boundary datasets can be found here: https://www.census.gov/geographies/mapping-files/time-series/geo/carto-boundary-file.2013.html#list-tab-40RKW26654EFTMARWW. The territories data provides an additional 605 records. The socioeconomic elements are derived from the 2010 Census Demographic Profile for each territory (published in 2014). Information about the Demographic Profiles can be found here: https://www.census.gov/data/datasets/2010/dec/american-samoa.html, https://www.census.gov/data/datasets/2010/dec/guam.html, https://www.census.gov/data/datasets/2010/dec/cnmi.html, and https://www.census.gov/data/datasets/2010/dec/virgin-islands.html. They include demographic Index; % people of color; % low income; % limited English Speaking; % less than high school education; % under age 5; and % over age 64. The included Pollution and Sources are: Lead Paint; Superfund Proximity; RMP Facility Proximity; Hazardous Waste Proximity; and Underground Storage Tanks. These have the same sources as described above. Note that the availability of indicators is not consistent from territory to territory. Also note that this data is derived as State percentile statistics and is not included in the National percentile statistics, where only the features and identifiers are included.
Geographic Framework
• The geographic framework for EJScreen was built from 2021 Census TIGER/Line data for all 50 states, the District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico.
• The socioeconomic data source is U.S. Census Bureau’s American Community Survey (ACS) 2017-2021 5-Year Estimates (ACS 2021).
• There are a total 242,335 block groups.
• The application defines the spatial reference as “WGS 1984 Web Mercator (Auxiliary Sphere).”
• The U.S. Territories of American Samoa, Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands (CNMI), Guam, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands are included in the application. However, Puerto Rico is included with all 50 states and the District of Columbia. The term “territories” in this document refers to the four territories excluding Puerto Rico.
• Puerto Rico uses ACS 2021. American Samoa, CNMI, and Guam use 2021 Census Place boundaries. The U.S. Virgin Islands use 2021 Census Estate boundaries. All spatial boundaries are extracted from the 1:500,000 Cartographic Boundary files. The territories data provides an additional 686 records. Note that socioeconomic data is built from Census 2020 Island Areas Demographic Profile data released in October 2022.
• The Census Place boundaries and Census Estate boundaries for the territories are appended to the block groups for all 50 states and the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico (see the Details on U.S. Territories section for details).
• Census block centroids with population from 2020 Decennial Census P.L. 94-171 Redistricting data are used to provide population-weights for the application.
The demographic elements for EJScreen were extracted and processed based on ACS 2016-2020 estimates and attached to the Census TIGER 2020 block group boundaries. The demographic index [(% people of color + % low income) / 2], 12 environmental indicators, and 12 EJScreen Indexes [Demographic Index * Percentile of Environmental Indicator] were generated at the national, and state levels for the US 50 states, DC and Puerto Rico. Statistical percentiles were also computed for the national and state levels for the US 50 states, DC and Puerto Rico as well. These Statistical Percentiles are unweighted, and use a "floor" method to force tied values to lowest possible result. This results in both a National Indexes Percentiles feature class and a State Indexes Percentiles feature class.
2022-08-08T00:00:00
EJScreen indexes for the US Territories of American Samoa, Guam, Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, and the US Virgin Islands. American Samoa, Guam, and Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands use 2013 Census Place boundaries. The US Virgin Islands use 2013 Census Estate boundaries. All boundaries pulled from 2013 Census Cartographic boundary data (1:500,000 scale). Additional geoprocessing steps include: Clipping all places by county boundaries to provide island coastlines; adding Null place record to cover all of Guam not included in the source place records; and assigning County FIPS and Name values to all records. The territories data provides an additional 605 records. The socioeconomic elements are derived from the 2010 Census Demographic Profile for each territory (published in 2014). They include Demographic Index; % people of color; % low income; % limited English Speaking; % less than high school education; % under age 5; and % over age 64. The included Pollution and Sources are: Lead Paint; Superfund Proximity; RMP Facility Proximity; Hazardous Waste Proximity; and Underground Storage Tanks. EJScreen indexes were built using the same methods as the main EJScreen index data. State percentiles and statistics were built for each territory.

chemicals included on the list of toxic chemicals established under section 313 of the Emergency
Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act (EPCRA) based on the quantities released to air by facilities.
The indicator is derived by considering the quantities of the chemical(s) released to air, modeling the
fate of the chemical(s) in air based on an approximate point of release, determining chemical
concentrations in air, and weighting the chemical concentrations by the relative toxicity(ities) of the
chemical(s). Average annual toxicity-weighted concentration results from all modeled air releases are

The lead paint indicator is the percentage of occupied housing units built before 1960, calculated from
the U.S. Census Bureau's ACS 5-year summary estimates on age of housing stock. EJScreen uses age of
housing stock as a surrogate for potential lead exposure as regulations banning lead-based residential
paint in 1978 led to the reduction and finally an end to the use of such paint in housing. The percentage
of older housing units is a proxy for potential exposure to lead paint and lead-containing dust that
accumulates indoors, in homes, or in other buildings where lead paint was used. EJScreen uses housing
units built before 1960.

This is achieved using toxicity-weighted concentrations in stream reach 25 segments within 500 meters of a block centroid, divided by distance in meters, presented as the population-weighted average of blocks in each block group. Source: Calculated from RSEI modeled toxic concentrations to stream reach segments created 11/23/2022 (https://www.epa.gov/rsei)

Percentile for Unemployed - The percentile (roughly what % of the US population lives in a block group with a lower value) of the percent of people in a block group who are unemployed. Individuals who are age 16 and over and in the civilian labor force who were neither "at work" nor "with a job but not at work" during the reference week (the week the survey was conducted), were actively looking for work during the last 4 weeks, and were available to accept a job. This also includes individuals who did not work at all during the reference week, were waiting to be called back to a job from which they had been laid off, and were available for work except for temporary illness.
