(Dis)location: Black Exodus

Click for map key and brief explanation.

This map uses data from the CalEnviroScreen 3.0 on the cardiovascular disease (CVD) indicator. Research has shown that air pollution is associated with increased risk for CVD. Air pollution, particularly very small particles, can trigger heart attacks, strokes, and irregular heart rhythms.
The darkest color purple represents census tracts with the highest percentile of CVD-related emergency hospitalizations for heart attack. The yellow the lowest.
The map shows that the Bayview has some of the highest rates of CVD-related hospitalizations, with significant distance to emergency medical departments.
