Lead Exposure Risk in Your Neighborhood
Nearly a decade after the water crisis in Flint, Michigan, lead contamination remains a nationwide issue. To help concerned residents, public health officials, and local organizations identify neighborhoods that might be at a higher risk of exposure to lead, we added an up-to-date Lead Exposure Risk Index to show estimated exposure at the census tract level.

Lead risk data has been updated on PolicyMap to 2016-2020. A “high” risk indicates that a given census tract has a higher-than-average concentration of older homes, a higher-than average poverty rate, or both. This data is available to all users, and can be accessed in the Housing menu, under Residential Buildings and Quality, or the Health menu, under Risk Factors.
The diversity index and predominant race data have been updated on PolicyMap to use the latest 2017-2021 ACS data. This data is available to all users and can be found in the Demographics menu under Race, Ethnicity, Diversity > Diversity. Predominant race is available with and without Hispanic ethnicity and with and without predominant groups that are less than 50% of the total population. The diversity index shows the probability that two individuals chosen at random would be of different races or ethnicities – lower index values between 0 and 20 suggest more homogeneity and higher index values above 50 suggest more heterogeneity.
We are committed to our promise of curated, cleaned, standardized, and always updated data. We’re posting real-time updates on our website and Twitter.
