"The Environmental and Climate Justice Program (ECJ Program), created by the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA), provides funding for financial and technical assistance to carry out environmental and climate justice activities to benefit disadvantaged communities.
<br /><br />
EPA has created the EPA Disadvantaged Community Environmental and Climate Justice Program map to assist potential applicants seeking to identify whether a community is disadvantaged for the purposes of implementing the ECJ Program.
<br /><br />
The EPA Disadvantaged Communities Environmental and Climate Justice program map includes the following components:
<br /><br />
EPA IRA Disadvantaged Communities 1.0 map
EPA IRA Disadvantaged Communities 2.0 map
Any area of American Samoa, Guam, the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, or the U.S. Virgin Islands
<br /><br />
The EPA IRA Disadvantaged Communities maps combines multiple datasets that individually can be used to determine whether a community is disadvantaged for the purposes of implementing programs under the IRA. All data sets are assigned values at the Census block group level.
<br /><br />
The criteria and associated datasets used in the maps are:
<br /><br />
Any census tract that is included as disadvantaged in the Climate and Economic Justice Screening Tool (CEJST)
Any census block group at or above the 90th percentile for any of EJScreen’s Supplemental Indexes when compared to the nation or state,
and/or any of the following geographic areas within the Tribal lands category in EJScreen:
Alaska Native Allotments
Alaska Native Villages
American Indian Reservations
American Indian Off-reservation Trust Lands
Oklahoma Tribal Statistical Areas
<br /><br />
The EPA IRA Disadvantaged Communities 1.0 map uses data from EJScreen version 2.2.
The EPA IRA Disadvantaged Communities 2.0 map uses data from EJScreen version 2.3.
<br /><br />
To further assist applicants, EPA has provided the underlying data for the map"

“由《通胀削减法案》（Inflation Reduction Act, IRA）设立的环境与气候正义项目（Environmental and Climate Justice Program, ECJ项目），将提供资金与技术援助，用于开展惠及弱势社区的环境与气候正义相关工作。

美国环境保护署（Environmental Protection Agency, EPA）已创建EPA弱势社区环境与气候正义项目地图，以协助潜在申请者判断某一社区是否符合ECJ项目实施所需的弱势社区认定标准。

本EPA弱势社区环境与气候正义项目地图包含以下组成部分：
EPA《通胀削减法案》弱势社区1.0地图、EPA《通胀削减法案》弱势社区2.0地图，以及美属萨摩亚、关岛、北马里亚纳群岛联邦或美属维尔京群岛的全部区域。

本EPA《通胀削减法案》弱势社区地图整合了多套数据集，各数据集均可单独用于判断某一社区是否符合《通胀削减法案》下项目实施所需的弱势社区认定标准。所有数据集均以人口普查街区组（Census block group）为单位赋值。

本地图所采用的认定标准及关联数据集如下：
纳入气候与经济正义筛查工具（Climate and Economic Justice Screening Tool, CEJST）认定的弱势人口普查区域；
与全国或州级基准相比，在环境正义筛查工具（Environmental Justice Screening Tool, EJScreen）的任意补充指数中处于90%及以上分位的人口普查街区组；
以及/或符合EJScreen中部落土地类别的以下任意地理区域：阿拉斯加原住民分配地、阿拉斯加原住民村落、美洲印第安人保留地、美洲印第安人保留地外信托土地、俄克拉荷马州部落统计区域。

EPA《通胀削减法案》弱势社区1.0地图采用EJScreen 2.2版本的数据，EPA《通胀削减法案》弱势社区2.0地图采用EJScreen 2.3版本的数据。

为进一步协助申请者，美国环境保护署已提供本地图的基础数据源。”

背景与挑战

背景概述

该数据集是从《通胀削减法案》弱势社区地图中提取的公开数据，由美国环保署（EPA）创建，旨在帮助识别弱势社区以实施环境和气候正义计划。数据集包含EPA IRA弱势社区1.0和2.0地图，基于人口普查区块组级别，结合了气候和经济正义筛选工具（CEJST）及EJScreen补充指数等多源数据，用于确定社区是否符合弱势标准。
