EJ and Impervious Cover
Geographic analysis of impervious cover and demographic attributes by 2010 Census block group. Demographic attributes and Census block groups were downloaded from the EJScreen web page (www.epa.gov/ejscreen). EJScreen technical documentation is available at website; click on the technical information link on the landing page; the link of the documentation is in the center of the web page. NLCD2019 data for impervious cover were downloaded from www.mrlc.gov. The impervious cover for 2001 and 2019 in the NLCD2019 database were used in the analysis. The Census block groups downloaded from EJScreen were projected into Albers Conic Equal Area to match the NLCD2019 projection (Albers Conic Equal Area: central meridian=96.0 W; origin latitude=23.0 N; false easting=0.0; false northing=0.0; standard parallel 1=29.5 N; standard parallel 2=49.5 N; Geographic coordinate system=WGS84; WKID=4326) .
