Layer: MPCA Environmental Justice Areas (ID: 0)

Name: MPCA Environmental Justice Areas

Display Field: name

Type: Feature Layer

Geometry Type: esriGeometryPolygon

Description: This layer represents areas of consideration for MPCA environmental justice efforts. Our goal is to highlight regions where community members are disproportionately impacted by environmental issues. The data fields in this layer are a mix of American Community Survey (ACS) 5-year estimates and calculations performed by MPCA staff. Margins of error are not considered when determining potential areas of consideration. As an attempt to highlight environmental justice areas, we show census tracts where the estimated percentage of the population that identify as people of color is 40% or greater, the estimated percentage of economically disadvantaged community members is 35% or greater, as well as the estimated percentage of the population that has limited English proficiency is 40% or greater. We also include language information for each census tract and highlight the top three estimated languages spoken by those who report that they do not speak English well. Income Threshold: The federal government defines poverty thresholds on an annual basis (https://www.census.gov/data/tables/time-series/demo/income-poverty/historical-poverty-thresholds.html ). For MPCA use, we show an income threshold at 2 times the federal poverty threshold. 2022: 2 x $13,590 = $27,180 (individual) 2 x $27,750 = $55,500 (family of four)
