- Description:
- Percentile range in groupings of 10%. The highest CalEnviroScreen scores (most burdened) are represented in the 91 - 100% grouping. See the CalEnvor mapper at: http://oehha.maps.arcgis.com/apps/Viewer/index.html?appid=112d915348834263ab8ecd5c6da67f68
What is poverty?
The U.S. Census Bureau determines the federal poverty level each year. The poverty level is based on the size of the household and the age of family members. If a person or family’s total income before taxes is less than the poverty level, the person or family are considered in poverty.
Many studies have found that people living in poverty are more likely than others to become ill from pollution.
More information can be found in the Poverty chapter in the CalEnviroScreen 2.0 report.
About CalEnviroScreen:
The Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment (OEHHA), on behalf of the California Environmental Protection Agency (CalEPA), announces the availability of the Communities Environmental Health Screening Tool: CalEnviroScreen Version 2.0 (CalEnviroScreen 2.0). CalEnviroScreen is a screening methodology that can be used to help identify California communities that are disproportionately burdened by multiple sources of pollution.
The tool was updated in October 2014 to include additional data along the US-Mexico border. Information on the update is described in the SB 535 response to comments (http://www.calepa.ca.gov/EnvJustice/GHGInvest/Documents/SB535PubCom.pdf#page=10)
The 2.0 report and supporting documents are available at: http://oehha.ca.gov/ej/ces2.html
