 "description": "Areas of the state where people who are vulnerable to health, social, and environmental inequities are also highly impacted by criteria air pollution.Using multiple sources of air quality data and environmental justice information, Ecology identified 16 areas of the state containing multiple overburdened communities, neighborhoods, and towns that are highly impacted by criteria air pollution. The places are a mix of urban, suburban, and rural. They vary greatly in population, from about 1,500 to more than 200,000 people. They also range vastly in area, from less than 3 square miles to 173 square miles. Collectively, they represent more than 1.2 million people, or about 15.5% of Washington\u2019s population. We heard from Tribes, the public, members of the Environmental Justice Council, and other environmental justice advocates about identifying the people and places in Washington that are overburdened and highly impacted by criteria air pollution. We have not yet included any communities on Tribal land. More information about how communities were identified can be found on our website: ecology.wa.gov/overburdenedDISCLAIMER: This is not a diagnostic tool. These are communities identified for a specific purpose under the Climate Commitment Act.",
