Demographics
Distribution of Thresholds Exceeded by Racial/Ethnic Group
Insights and Analyses
These bar charts show the distribution of racial/ethnic groups across the number of burden or indicator thresholds exceeded. One key takeaway is that as exceeded thresholds increase, the proportion of people that identify as Black or African American also increases. Similarly, the proportion of people that identify as white decreases as the thresholds increase. It is important to note that these numbers are percentages, meaning it only represents the proportional breakdown across each threshold value.
Distribution of Cluster Classification by Racial/Ethnic Group
Insights and Analyses
These bar charts show the distribution of racial/ethnic groups across cluster classification. One key takeaway is that white populations make up 70-80% of the census tracts that are cold spots. Cold spots represent areas that have significantly fewer thresholds exceeded when proportionally compared to the average thresholds exceeded across the United States. People that identify as Black or African American or Hispanic or Latino both compose between 20-30% of census tracts that are hot spots. Hot spots represent areas that have significantly more thresholds exceeded when proportionally compared to the average thresholds exceeded across the United States. It is important to note that these numbers are percentages, meaning it only represents the proportional breakdown across each cluster classification.
Hot Spots and Cold Spots
Distribution of Hot Spots and Cold Spots Across Census Tracts
Insights and Analyses
These bar charts show the distribution of cluster categories across all U.S. census tracts. About half of all census tracts have no cluster classification. Approximately 26,000 census tracts are identified as cold spots and 10,000 are identified as hot spots. Hot spots and cold spots at both the 95% and 99% significance level are included in this visualization.
