Year: 2023

The Environmental Justice StoryMap is the first tool of its kind in the region to provide an accessible, user-friendly web-based resource for the community to visualize the environmental, social, and neighborhood indicators for the entire San Diego region. This visual “library” of health and environmental justice indicators from CalEnviroScreen and Healthy Places Index is comprised of topics such as air pollution, toxics from industries, climate impacts, housing, trees, and sidewalks. These indicators are layered with socioeconomic data such as race and income using Geographic Information System (GIS) mapping tools, which provides information at a census-tract level for the public’s use in planning, advocacy, and education.
