This report provides a 2020 snapshot of the City of Monrovia’s environmental justice and community health/wellness conditions. Environmental justice focuses on pollution, environmental and social factors that may burden a neighborhood, community, or city.

This technical memorandum:

• identifies “disadvantaged communities” within the City of Monrovia and its adjacent Sphere of Influence (SOI)
• assesses environmental and pollution hazards; and
• addresses health and wellness conditions, including health insurance coverage, health care access, food insecurity, grocery store access, and physical activity.

This technical memorandum provides a foundation for the General Plan’s new Environmental Justice Element’s Policy and Implementation programs.

This report uses data from the 2016 California Health Interview Survey.
