Change in Area Deprivation Index Scores (2013 to 2015) by Census Block Group

This map layer displays the change (+/-) in Area Deprivation Index (ADI) scores between the 2013 and 2015 datasets. The ADI is a rankings of neighborhoods by socioeconomic status disadvantage in a region of interest (e.g. at the state or national level). It includes factors for the theoretical domains of income, education, employment, and housing quality. It can be used to inform health delivery and policy, especially for the most disadvantaged neighborhood groups. The 2015 ADI (v2.0) was constructed using the 2011-2015 5-year estimates from the US Census’ American Community Survey. The methods are identical to the 2013 ADI construction.

It can be used to inform health delivery and policy, especially for the most disadvantaged neighborhood groups.

Locations of Primary Care Physicians

This layer displays the locations of all primary care physicians with a CMS National Provider Identifier (NPI). Primary care physicians are those MDs or DOs specializing in family practice, general practice, pediatric medicine, or internal medicine.

Coal Fields

This data set shows the coal fields of Alaska and the conterminous United States. Most of the material for the conterminous United States was collected from James Trumbull’s “Coal Fields of the United States, Conterminous United States” map (sheet 1, 1960). The Gulf Coast region was updated using generalized, coal-bearing geology obtained from State geologic maps. The Alaska coal fields were collected from Farrell Barnes’s “Coal Fields of the United States, Alaska” map (sheet 2, 1961).

Wind Turbine Density

This layer was created using point data of Wind Turbine locations within the U.S. from USGS. Density was calculated using a circular neighborhood of 1 mile and each cell is 1 square mile in area.

Crude Oil Pipelines

This layer represents crude oil pipelines throughout the U.S. and part of Canada.
