This map uses an archive of Version 1.0 of the CEJST data as a fully functional GIS layer. See an archive of the latest version of the CEJST tool using Version 2.0 of the data released in December 2024 here.This map shows Census tracts throughout the US based on if they are considered disadvantaged or partially disadvantaged according to Justice40 Initiative criteria. This is overlaid with the most recent American Community Survey (ACS) figures from the U.S. Census Bureau to communicate the predominant race that lives within these disadvantaged or partially disadvantaged tracts. Predominance helps us understand the group of population which has the largest count within an area. Colors are more transparent if the predominant race has a similar count to another race/ethnicity group. The colors on the map help us better understand the predominant race or ethnicity:Hispanic or LatinoWhite Alone, not HispanicBlack or African American Alone, not HispanicAsian Alone, not HispanicAmerican Indian and Alaska Native Alone, not HispanicTwo or more races, not HispanicNative Hawaiian and Other Pacific Islander, not HispanicSome other race, not HispanicSearch for any region, city, or neighborhood throughout the US, DC, and Puerto Rico to learn more about the population in the disadvantaged tracts.

You can also use this web map within an ArcGIS app such as a dashboard, instant app, or story. This map uses these hosted feature layers containing the most recent American Community Survey data. These layers are part of the ArcGIS Living Atlas, and are updated every year when the American Community Survey releases new estimates, so values in the map always reflect the newest data available.Note: Justice40 tracts use 2010-based boundaries, while the most recent ACS figures are offered on 2020-based boundaries. When you click on an area, there will be multiple pop-ups returned due to the differences in these boundaries. From Justice40 data source:"Census tract geographical boundaries are determined by the U.S. Census Bureau once every ten years. This tool utilizes the census tract boundaries from 2010 because they match the datasets used in the tool. The U.S. Census Bureau will update these tract boundaries in 2020.Under the current formula, a census tract will be identified as disadvantaged in one or more categories of criteria:IF the tract is above the threshold for one or more environmental or climate indicators AND the tract is above the threshold for the socioeconomic indicatorsCommunities are identified as disadvantaged by the current version of the tool for the purposes of the Justice40 Initiative if they are located in census tracts that are at or above the combined thresholds in one or more of eight categories of criteria.The goal of the Justice40 Initiative is to provide 40 percent of the overall benefits of certain Federal investments in [eight] key areas to disadvantaged communities. These [eight] key areas are: climate change, clean energy and energy efficiency, clean transit, affordable and sustainable housing, training and workforce development, the remediation and reduction of legacy pollution, [health burdens] and the development of critical clean water infrastructure."

To secure an equitable economic future, the United States must ensure that environmental and economic justice are key considerations in how we govern. That means investing and building a clean energy economy that creates well‑paying union jobs, turning disadvantaged communities — historically marginalized and overburdened — into healthy, thriving communities, and undertaking robust actions to mitigate climate change while preparing for the impacts of climate change across rural, urban, and Tribal areas. Agencies shall make achieving environmental justice part of their missions by developing programs, policies, and activities to address the disproportionately high and adverse human health, environmental, climate-related and other cumulative impacts on disadvantaged communities, as well as the accompanying economic challenges of such impacts. It is therefore the policy of my Administration to secure environmental justice and spur economic opportunity for disadvantaged communities that have been historically marginalized and overburdened by pollution and underinvestment in housing, transportation, water and wastewater infrastructure, and health care."
