EJSCREEN is EPA’s publicly available EJ mapping and screening tool that provides users with high resolution environmental and demographic information for locations across the United States. This online tool uses nationally consistent data to compare locations and pulls information into easy-to-use maps and reports. EJSCREEN was released to the public in 2015 and quickly became a resource for all levels of government, private sector, and the American people to identify areas with EJ concerns and other environmental issues. Since its public release, EJSCREEN has consistently ranked as one of EPA’s most used tools. For more information, please visit: EPA’s EJSCREEN webpage and EPA’s Learn to Use EJSCREEN webpage.
