Please note that while data can be downloaded at state or national geographies, rankings within both geographic levels of these data represent comparisons to all other census tracts in the nation. For example, an EJI ranking of 0.85 signifies that 85% of tracts in the nation likely experience less severe cumulative impacts from environmental burden than the tract of interest, and that 15% of tracts in the nation likely experience more severe cumulative impacts from environmental burden.
