CalEnviroScreen <strong>1.1</strong><br />

The following map shows the relationship between census-derived ZIP codes (ZCTAs) and<br />

approximate postal service ZIP codes for an area in San Bernardino. For many ZIP codes they<br />

are similar.<br />

* Postal service ZIP code approximations were obtained from Esri, Inc.<br />

Analysis <strong>of</strong><br />

CalEnviroScreen <strong>1.1</strong><br />

Scores and<br />

Race/Ethnicity<br />

The relationship between the calculated CalEnviroScreen score and<br />

race/ethnicity was examined. After sorting all the ZIP codes by<br />

CalEnviroScreen score, ZIP codes were placed in 10 groups (deciles),<br />

highest to lowest. The racial/ethnic composition <strong>of</strong> each decile was<br />

examined by using data from the U.S. Census Bureau.<br />
