TwitterThis map compares the relationship between annual average particulate matter 2.5 (PM 2.5) air quality data for the US between 1998 and 2016 to the percent of households that are below the poverty level. Poverty data is from the American Community Survey estimates and air quality data is from NASA SEDAC gridded data aggregated to states, counties, congressional districts, and 50km hex bins.
