Resource Abstract:
- description: This EnviroAtlas dataset estimates the intersection density of walkable roads within a 750 meter radius of any
given 10 meter pixel in the community. Intersections are defined as any point where 3 or more roads meet and density is calculated
using kernel density, where closer intersections are weighted higher than further intersections. Intersection density is highly
correlated with walking for transportation. This dataset was produced by the US EPA to support research and online mapping
activities related to EnviroAtlas. EnviroAtlas (https://www.epa.gov/enviroatlas) allows the user to interact with a web-based,
easy-to-use, mapping application to view and analyze multiple ecosystem services for the contiguous United States. The dataset
is available as downloadable data (https://edg.epa.gov/data/Public/ORD/EnviroAtlas) or as an EnviroAtlas map service. Additional
descriptive information about each attribute in this dataset can be found in its associated EnviroAtlas Fact Sheet (https://www.epa.gov/enviroatlas/enviroatlas-fact-sheets).;
