ENVIRONMENTAL JUSTICE INDEX


AT A GLANCE

The Environmental Justice Index (EJI) is the first national, place-based tool
designed to measure the cumulative impacts of environmental burden through the
lens of human health and health equity. The EJI delivers a single rank for each
community to identify and map areas most at risk for the health impacts of
environmental burden.






OVERVIEW

Environmental justice means the just treatment and meaningful involvement of all
people, regardless of income, race, color, national origin, Tribal affiliation,
or disability, in agency decision-making and other Federal activities that
affect human health and the environment so that people:

 1. Are fully protected from disproportionate and adverse human health and
    environmental effects (including risks) and hazards, including those related
    to climate change, the cumulative impacts of environmental and other
    burdens, and the legacy of racism or other structural or systemic barriers
 2. Have equitable access to a healthy, sustainable, and resilient environment
    in which to live, play, work, learn, grow, worship, and engage in cultural
    and subsistence practices

The Environmental Justice Index uses data from the U.S. Census Bureau, the U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency, the U.S. Mine Safety and Health Administration,
and the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to rank the cumulative
impacts of environmental injustice on health for every census tract. Census
tracts are subdivisions of counties for which the Census collects statistical
data. The EJI ranks each tract on 36 environmental, social, and health factors
and groups them into three overarching modules and ten different domains.
