DEMOGRAPHIC INDICATOR
https://www.epa.gov/ejscreen/overview-demographic-indicators-ejscreen
There are seven demographic indicators and a demographic index:
- People of color:
- The percent of individuals in a block group who list their racial status as a race other than white alone and/or list their ethnicity as Hispanic or Latino. That is, all people other than non-Hispanic white-alone individuals. The word "alone" in this case indicates that the person is of a single race, not multiracial.
- Low-income:
- The percent of a block group's population in households where the household income is less than or equal to twice the federal "poverty level."
- Unemployment rate:
- The percent of a block group's population that did not have a job at all during the reporting period, made at least one specific active effort to find a job during the prior 4 weeks, and were available for work (unless temporarily ill).
- Linguistic isolation:
- Percent of people in a block group living in linguistically isolated households. A household in which all members age 14 years and over speak a non-English language and also speak English less than "very well" (have difficulty with English) is linguistically isolated.
- Less than high school education:
- Percent of people age 25 or older in a block group whose education is short of a high school diploma.
- Under age 5:
- Percent of people in a block group under the age of 5.
- Over age 64:
- Percent of people in a block group over the age of 64.
EJScreen includes an index that is based on the above demographic indicators:
- Demographic Index is based on the average of two demographic indicators; low-income and people of color.
PERCENTAGES & PERCENTILES
- Percentages (%) are an absolute metric. If a census block group has a demographic indicator of 64%, that means that 64% of people living in that block group - that's 64 out of every 100 people there - are considered minority/low-income.
- Percentiles (%ile) are a relative metric. A demographic indicator in the 98th percentile means that the minority/low-income population in that block group is very high: only 2% of block groups in Utah have an equal or higher minority/low-income population. All percentiles in this layer are relative to census block group metrics in the state of Utah (these are not relative to the entire U.S.
