Michigan Dept. of Environment, Great Lakes, and EnergyThis feature layer MiEJScreen Component: Socioeconomic Factors, consists of the overall component and 8 indicators (a-h) 4) Population Characteristics: Socioeconomic Factors ----a) Poverty ----b) Percent Minority ----c) Less Than High School Education ----d) Linguistic Isolation ----e) Individuals Under 5 Years Old ----f) Individuals Over 64 Years Old ----g) Unemployment ----h) Housing Burden Note that this data is static and is not being maintained. It is used in the MiEJScreen , a screening tool that provides percentile scoring of various environmental, health, and socioeconomic indicators to measure relative environmental risk factors in communities. The percentile scores allow comparison on various factors that may contribute to disparities within a community and between communities but are not absolute values. This map does not model overall burden on communities, nor does it reflect the actual number of individuals affected by potential environmental risk factors. The map also does not model the positive or negative likelihood of an individual health outcome. It should not be used to diagnose a community health issue, label a community, or attribute risk factors and exposures for specific individuals. Additional analysis would be necessary to make decisions on health outcomes that may be associated with the environmental risk factors. This map is intended to be a dynamic, informative tool. MiEJScreen is not a decision-making tool. While certain data from the tool may be used as allowed by law to inform decisions, such as community engagement, data from the tool, by itself, does not determine the existence or absence of environmental justice concerns in a given location or provide risk assessments.
