Note: The reports are in PDF format and will open in a
new tab. The data is from the
CDC, and were downloaded in January, 2025. To quote:
Environmental Justice Index (EJI) County Map Series Prepared County
Maps: Learn more about environmental injustice in your county with the
EJI County Map Series. EJI County Maps offer summary information and
visualizations that can provide insights into patterns and drivers of
environmental injustice for the most burdened communities in each
county. Each EJ County Map consists of three pages. Page 1 provides a
high-level overview, including a overall EJI rank map as well as
infographics highlighting key metrics. Page 2 provides charts and
figures that visualize which EJI indicators are contributing the most
to burden in a county. Page 3 features the EJI + Climate Burden rank,
a supplement to the EJI, and combines features from Pages 1 and 2 to
illustrate the cumulative impacts, including climate-related burdens,
in that county.
Only the 48 contiguous states are included in the data from the CDC, and
although most states use counties, some use other administrative
divisions.
All reports should be available in the GitHub repository. It is possible that the CDC will remove or update the reports. Internet Archive links may or may not work.
