Describe the population make-up and socioeconomic rankings of each of the two communities you compared.

Overall, what geographic areas in Tacoma/Pierce County seemed to have higher environmental health risks, and what have lower environmental health risks?
What two communities did you compare more closely, and how were they different in overall environmental health risk? Include the census tract numbers (you’ll see it in the box with the population data) and rough location (i.e. South Tacoma) of the communities you compared. (You can include major streets if you know them.)
Describe the population make-up and socioeconomic rankings of each of the two communities you compared.
Describe particular health items you compared, and what you found.
Are there obvious correlations between health and age, race, poverty, etc.? Were there items that showed no real pattern of difference?
Reflect on this exercise. What did you learn that you may not have known before? How did this exercise connect with Wesch’s video about the Troost wall, and how does it connect with other things you learned this week?
