EnviroAtlas - Paterson, NJ - Park Access by Block Group
Dataset Identification:
Resource Abstract:
This EnviroAtlas dataset shows the block group population that is within and beyond an easy walking distance (500m) of a park
entrance. Park entrances were included in this analysis if they were within 5km of the EnviroAtlas community boundary. This
dataset was produced by the US EPA to support research and online mapping activities related to EnviroAtlas. EnviroAtlas (http://enviroatlas.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 (http://enviroatlas.epa.gov/EnviroAtlas/DataFactSheets).

The purpose of this data is to show the block group population with and without service of a park. This data can be assessed
with other socio-economic factors to identify areas of need. The overall goal of EnviroAtlas is to employ and develop the
best available science to map indicators of ecosystem services production, demand, and drivers for the nation.
