ABOUT THE MAP. This map shows the boundaries of Santa Ana's environmental justice communities based on data from CalEPA's CalEnviroScreen <br />tool. The boundaries represent the areas where the City's policies will emphasize and prioritize improving existing environmental conditions, <br />expanding access to public facilities and resources, and augmenting opportunities for civic engagement. <br />_ Environmental Justice Communities <br />FIGURE CN-3 <br />ENVIRONMENTAL JUSTICE COMMUNITIES <br />Source: CalEnviroScreen 4.0 Date Published: 11/1/2021 <br />Environmental Justice Community: The City uses a mapping tool from CaIEPA called <br />CalEnviroScreen (CES) to identify the mostvulnerable and disadvantaged areas in Santa <br />Ana. The CES tool measures 21 indicators for every census tract in California related to <br />people's exposure to pollution and quality of life. The results for each census tract are <br />combined and measured against every other census tract, producing a composite score <br />that ranks census tracts from the least impacted to the most impacted. Those ranked in <br />the top 25 percent —shown with values between 15 and 100 percent —are considered <br />disadvantaged or environmental justice communities. <br />CITY OF SANTA ANA GENERAL PLAN J!pg,,"I <br />
