    Built Environment Indicators and Health Map

    Metadata Updated: May 28, 2025

    The online tool highlights how close in walking distance DC census tracts are to various features of the built environment spanning nine key drivers--education, employment, financial institutions, housing, transportation, food environment, medical care, outdoor environment, and community safety--and 41 data measures.
