EJScreen

EJScreen is a comprehensive tool developed by the EPA to help identify and address environmental justice concerns. It combines 13 environmental indicators and 7 socioeconomic indicators to create 13 Environmental Justice (EJ) indexes and 13 supplemental indexes. Users can select a geographic area, and EJScreen provides detailed information on the environmental and socioeconomic conditions of that area. The tool includes color-coded mapping, the ability to generate standard reports, and comparisons showing how a selected area compares to the state or nation. EJScreen is designed to help policymakers, researchers, and community organizations target resources and interventions to communities facing significant environmental and social burdens.
