Each state has specific criteria for determining EJ Areas:Pennsylvania - PennEnviroScreen provides an annually updated snapshot of undue environmental burden on vulnerable communities. This dataset is the result of a model which combines Pollution Burden and Population Characteristics data in order to identify Environmental Justice (EJ) Areas in accordance with the EJ Policy and is based upon the US Census Bureau's Census Block Group Delineations. New York - Poverty rate of at least 22.82% and minority population of at least 26.28% (rural)/ 52.42% (urban) (Source: 2014-2018 5-Year ACS)Maryland - Provides a geodatabase on the MDE EJ Screening Tool interactive web map - https://mdewin64.mde.state.md.us/EJ/. MDE uses four indicators to screen locations and communities based on census and health data: 1) Pollution burden exposure, 2) Pollution burden environmental effect, 3) Sensitive populations, and 4) Socioeconomic/Demographic indicators. The definition of an overburdened community was used to calculate pollution burden exposure, pollution burden environmental effects, and sensitive populations. The definition of an underserved community was used to calculate socioeconomic/demographic factors. The Final EJ score needs to be above the 75th percemtile statewide to be an EJ area.​
