To advance environmental justice we need mapping tools that identify disproportionately impacted communities. We know that our mapping tools are only effective if community members are part of the process of creating them.
Our mapping tools help us direct funding and other resources to the communities that need them most.
Colorado EnviroScreen is CDPHE’s interactive environmental justice mapping tool. Version 1.0 launched on June 29, 2022. You can provide feedback on Colorado EnviroScreen to CDPHE at any time by emailing cdphe_ej@state.co.us
You can download the shapefile for the data layer in EnviroScreen that shows the location of census block groups that meet the Environmental Justice Act’s definition of Disproportionately Impacted Communities based on demographic factors on the CDPHE Open Data page.
