Description Usage Format Source

A dataset containing tract-level indicators used as inputs for CalEnviroScreen 2.0, after conversion to percentiles. Used for QA/QC. See ?pctls for a proper function.

The variables are as follows:

FIPS. The FIPS code for the census tract.
Age. Percent of population under age 10 or over age 65.
Asthma. Spatially modeled, age-adjusted rate of emergency department (ED) visits for asthma per 10,000 (averaged over 2007-2009).
LBW. Percent low birth weight (< 2500 g), spatially modeled (averaged over 2006-2009).
Edu. Percent of the population over age 25 with less than a high school education (5-year estimate, 2008-2012).
LingIso. Percentage of households in which no one age 14 and over speaks English "very well" or speaks English only.
Poverty. Percent of the population living below two times the federal poverty level (5-year estimate, 2008-2012).

Ozone. Portion of the daily maximum 8-hour ozone concentration over the California 8-hour standard (0.070 ppm), averaged over three years (2009 to 2011).
PM25. Annual mean concentration of PM2.5 (average of quarterly means), over three years (2009-2011).
DieselPM. Spatial distribution of gridded diesel PM emissions from on-road and non-road sources for a 2010 summer day in July (kg/day).
DrinkWat. Toxicity-weighted drinking water quality index for selected contaminants.
PestUse. Total pounds of selected active pesticide ingredients (filtered for hazard and volatility) used in production-agriculture per square mile.
ToxRel. Toxicity-weighted concentrations of modeled chemical releases to air from facility emissions and off-site incineration.
Traffic. Sum of traffic volumes adjusted by road segment length (vehicle-kilometers per hour) divided by total road length (kilometers) within 150 meters of the census tract boundary.
Cleanup. Sum of weighted cleanup sites within each census tract.
GndWat. Sum of weighted GeoTracker scores for sites within each census tract.
HazWaste. Sum of weighted permitted hazardous waste facilities and hazardous waste generators within each census tract.
ImpWat. Summed number of pollutants across all water bodies designated as impaired within the area.
SolWaste. Sum of weighted solid waste sites and facilities.
