Environmental Justice Areas - PennEnviroScreen v1.1

PennEnviroScreen provides an routinely updated snapshot of undue environmental burden on vulnerable communities. This dataset is the result of a model which combines Pollution Burden and Population Characteristics data in order to identify Environmental Justice (EJ) Areas in accordance with the EJ Policy and is based upon the US Census Bureau's Census Block Group Delineations. To query if a block group is an EJ area, field EJAREA = yes More information can be found at the PennEnviroScreen interactive mapping application: https://gis.dep.pa.gov/PennEnviroScreen/PennEnviroScreen（宾夕法尼亚环境筛查数据集）会定期更新，用以直观呈现弱势社区所承受的超额环境负担。该数据集基于一款整合了污染负担与人口特征数据的模型生成，旨在依据环境正义（Environmental Justice, EJ）政策识别环境正义区域，其数据依托美国人口普查局的人口普查街区组划分标准构建。若需查询某一街区组是否属于环境正义区域，可通过字段EJAREA是否取值为"yes"进行判断。更多详细信息可通过PennEnviroScreen交互式地图应用获取：https://gis.dep.pa.gov/PennEnviroScreen/
