Lead Risk Factors for West and North Philadelphia for 2013 - 2020

This dataset combines lead risk and socioeconomic factors to explore patterns in West and North Philadelphia. Lead risk data includes: lead-in-soil, land recycled sites, demolitions, housing code violations, age of housing, smelters, and elevated blood lead levels of children. Census data includes: homeownership status, house vintage, racial demographics, and percentage of population with a disability. Our visual analysis explored elevated blood lead levels in children and soil contamination as compared to spatial demographic distributions. General inequities regarding which populations are most impacted by environmental health hazards are significant in order to inform public health and urban planning policy.
