Summary
The Latino Climate and Health Dashboard is a digital resource that provides county-specific fact sheets illustrating how Latino neighborhoods (has 70% or more Latino residents) in the state face heightened health and environmental risks. Each county has fact sheets on two topics: heat exposure and air pollution. Data for Latino neighborhoods is compared with data for non-Latino white neighborhoods (has 70% or more white residents).
Heat exposure data include county-level demographic information that influences heat exposure and neighborhood information on recent (2018–2022) and projected (2035–2064) data on extreme heat days; barriers from or contributors to heat exposure; and vulnerable groups.
Air pollution data include county-level demographic information that influences air pollution exposure and neighborhood information on exposure (2015–2017) to fine air particulate matter (PM 2.5) and diesel emissions; proximity to major air pollution sources, vehicle and traffic types; and vulnerable groups.
