MiEJScreen is an interactive Environmental Justice screening tool that identifies a variety of stressors and demographics within communities that may impact environmental conditions or the public health of residents.
The map allows users to explore the environmental, health, and socioeconomic conditions within a specific community, region, or across the state.
These data sets can be viewed individually or combined into a final MiEJScreen score that allows users to understand how communities experience Environmental Justice impacts relative to others. These results are depicted in the form of maps so that different communities can be compared to one another. Percentile scores for MiEJScreen indicators allow for comparisons across census tracts but are not absolute values.
A census tract with a high score is one that experiences a combination of various stressors and potential increased vulnerability than census tracts with low scores. MiEJScreen ranks census tracts based on data that is available from state and federal government sources.
