Methodology

The Just Progress tool combines demographic, environmental, and socio-economic data to generate a cumulative index score, referred to as the Just Progress Index. The tool currently utilizes national, publically-available data from the United States Census Bureau’s American Community Survey (ACS) and the EPA’s EJScreen tool.

The various inputs into the Just Progress Index are averaged into 2 categories: Pollution Burden and Demographics.

Pollution Burden: health risks arising from proximity and potential exposures to pollution and other adverse environmental conditions

Demographics: sensitive populations and socioeconomic factors that make a community more vulnerable

Pollution Burden average x Demographics average = Just Progress Index
