Equity data for flood resilience

The dataset contains several equity-related data types: socioeconomic, demographic, health, and environmental inequities. Specifically, it includes data layers for low income, race and ethnicity, linguistic isolation, disability, age (children and older adults), renting population, populations without health insurance, proximity to brownfields and hazardous sites, lack of green space, and tax base per capita. The dataset is a compilation of equity-related data compiled from publicly available screening tools, including the Climate and Economic Justice Screening Tool (CEJST) developed by the White House’s Council on Environmental Quality in 2022, EJ Screen developed by USEPA, and Social Vulnerability Index (SVI) developed by the CDC/Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry (ATSDR) Geospatial Research, Analysis, and Services Program, and CMAP.
