Project Description

Summary: This dataset contains counts of polluting sites in each United States ZIP code tabulation area. Polluting sites are taken from the US Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) Toxics Release Inventory. These facilities are typically larger and involved in manufacturing, metal mining, electric power generation, chemical manufacturing, and hazardous waste treatment.

A curated version of this data is available through ICPSR at http://dx.doi.org/10.3886/ICPSR38597.v1

Scope of Project

Subject Terms: walkability; disamenities; industrial pollution

Geographic Coverage: United States

Time Period(s): 2000 – 2018

Collection Date(s): 2020 – 2021

Universe: ZIP code tabulation areas in the United States, including U.S. island territories.

Data Type(s): aggregate data

Collection Notes: A ZIP code to ZCTA crosswalk must be used to combine this dataset with ZIP code geocoded data. Such a crosswalk is available on the UDS Mapper website at https://udsmapper.org/zip-code-to-zcta-crosswalk/. Sample code for merging the UDS Mapper crosswalk with NaNDA datasets is available on the NaNDA repository at https://www.openicpsr.org/openicpsr/project/120088/.

Methodology

Data Source: We obtained addresses of polluting sites from the Toxics Release Inventory (TRI) published by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency for reporting years 2000 through 2018. ZIP code tabulation are taken from the U.S. Census Bureau’s TIGER/Line ZCTA shapefiles (2010 census geography).

Unit(s) of Observation: ZIP code tabulation area, year

Geographic Unit: ZIP code tabulation area
