Understanding EJScreen Results

putting together a puzzle of the earth
EJScreen uses maps and reports to present three kinds of information: Environmental indicators, socioeconomic indicators and EJ/supplemental indexes. The EJ and supplemental indexes summarize how an environmental indicator and socioeconomic factors come together in the same location.

An EJScreen map can display one indicator at a time. An EJScreen standard report will present all of the indicators in a single, printable report that covers any area you have selected. To understand EJScreen's reports and maps, it is helpful to learn more about the EJ indexes, environmental indicators, socioeconomic indicators as well as how they are presented in the standard report.
