  "definition": "There are thirteen EJ indexes in EJScreen reflecting the 13 environmental indicators, combined with socioeconomic information. The EJ index highlights block groups with the highest intersection of low-income populations, people of color, and a given environmental indicator. To calculate a single EJ index for one block group, EJScreen multiplies the environmental indicator by socioeconomic information. This socioeconomic information includes percent low-income and percent people of color (as the demographic index). This is the formula for the index: EJ Index = (Environmental Indicator Percentile for Block Group) X (Demographic Index for Block Group) View descriptions of the 13 EJ Indexes here.",
