The Overburdened Communities of Washington State dataset merges several critical and currently available data sources to identify census tracts where vulnerable populations face cumulative environmental and health impacts. This dataset integrates 2010 census tracts ranked 9 or 10 by the Washington Environmental Health Disparities (EHD) Map, tracts identified as \"disadvantaged\" by the federal Climate and Economic Justice Screening Tool (CEJST), and tracts overlapping with Tribal reservations (as recognized by the Bureau of Indian Affairs). The dataset covers urban, suburban, and rural areas, and varying in population and area size. These data support the identification of fund allocation under the CCA and HEAL Act, aiming to ensure equitable expenditures of funds towards environmental benefits and reduction of burdens in these critical areas. The dataset will be updated annually but is static between updates.<\/SPAN><\/P><\/DIV><\/DIV><\/DIV>",
