Built Environment Indicators and Health Map
The online tool highlights how close in walking distance DC census tracts are to various features of the built environment spanning nine key drivers--education, employment, financial institutions, housing, transportation, food environment, medical care, outdoor environment, and community safety--and 41 data measures. The visualizations include values for each DC census tract as well as percentile values for each of the nine drivers, to allow for comparisons across DC.
