Description: CalEnviroScreen is a screening methodology that can be used to help identify California communities that are disproportionately burdened by multiple sources of pollution. "The CalEnviroScreen 2.0 scores represent a combined measure of pollution and the potential vulnerability of a population to the effects of pollution. Unlike CalEnviroScreen 1.0, Version 2.0 scores do not include a measure of race/ethnicity in the calculation of the CalEnviroScreen score." (http://oehha.ca.gov/ej/pdf/CES20RaceEthnicity_05082014.pdf) "CalEnviroscreen 2.0 is the latest iteration of the CalEnviroScreen tool. It uses the same methodology as Version 1.1 except that the two indicators for drinking water and unemployment have been added, and the tool looks at pollution burdens and vulnerabilities in census tracts rather than ZIP codes. The two new indicators incorporate potential burdens to communities posed by contaminants in drinking water and potential social stressors relating to unemployment. The use of census tracts as the geographic scale may allow for a more precise screening of pollution burdens and vulnerabilities in communities. While race and ethnicity will not be used in compiling a score using CalEnviroScreen, the final CalEnviroScreen 2.0 document will contain a section that provides information on the racial and ethnic composition of communities throughout the state. This information will help us to better understand the correlation between race/ethnicity and the pollution burdens facing communities in California. CalEPA and OEHHA are committed to updating and expanding this section as new versions of the tool are released." (http://oehha.ca.gov/ej/pdf/CES20PublicReview04212014.pdf)
