Rising Environmental Inequalities and Their Relationship to Racial and Socioeconomic Disparities in the US Southwest

ESI and ETa represent drought and consumptive water use, respectively. Further, disparities of environmental changes over the past two decades in connection with races/ethnicities are explored using Landsat-based LST and ET from 2000 to 2020 across major US Southwest cities in light of global climate changes. We narrow our investigations to the summer months, including June, July, and August, when environmental issues are more pronounced during the day, such as heat-related mortality and morbidity and higher water consumption.</p> <p>This dataset covers major US Southwest cities. The dataset includes social-environmental data at the block level and remotely sensed environmental data. The description for each individual dataset is listed as follows,</p> <p><em><strong>T01(T01_dataset_meta_race_ethnicity_economy_env_southwest.csv)</strong></em>: This dataset provides statistics on race/ethnicity, social economy, and arithmetic mean of environmental variables at the block group level.</p> <p><em><strong>T02</strong></em>: These datasets provide processed environmental data, including Daytime Land Surface Temperature (LST), Actual Evapotranspiration (ETa), and Evaporative Stress Index (ESI) images at 70m resolution.</p> <p><em><strong>T03</strong></em>: These datasets include annual Landsat-based summer LST, and ETa means at 30m resolution from 2000 to 2020. The images of LST and ETa in 2012 are missing because Landsat datasets in 2012 are unavailable. We collected all available Landsat images with cloud cover lower than 75% in the summer from 2000 to 2020 to produce the dataset. The high-resolution (30m) LST and ETa are processed on Google Earth Engine (GEE). There are a total of 8860 scenes (including Landsat 4, 5, 7, and 8) from 2000 to 2020 to cover all major US Southwest urban areas. We also include two sample images of 2020 LST and ETa for demonstration.</p> <p><em><strong>T04</strong></em>: These datasets contain LST and ETa Sen's slope results, which represent the median rate of change of LST and ETa from 2000 to 2020 on an annual basis.</p> <p><em><strong>T05</strong></em>: The boundary of the major US Southwest urban areas</p>
Historical racial redlining and contemporary patterns of income inequality negatively affect birds, their habitat, and people in Los Angeles, California
<p>The Home Owners' Loan Corporation (HOLC) was a U.S. government-sponsored program initiated in the 1930s to evaluate mortgage lending risk. The program resulted in hand-drawn 'security risk' maps intended to grade sections of cities where investment should be focused (greenlined areas) or limited (redlined zones). The security maps have since been widely criticized as being inherently racist and have been associated with high levels of segregation and lower levels of green amenities in cities across the country. Our goal was to explore the potential legacy effects of the HOLC grading practice on birds, their habitat, and the people who may experience them throughout a metropolis where the security risk maps were widely applied, Greater Los Angeles, California (L.A.). We used ground-collected, remotely sensed, and census data and descriptive and predictive modeling approaches to address our goal. Patterns of bird habitat and avian communities strongly aligned with the luxury-effect phenomenon, where green amenities were more robust, and bird communities were more diverse and abundant in the wealthiest parts of L.A. Our analysis also revealed potential legacy effects from the HOLC grading practice. Associations between bird habitat features and avian communities in redlined and greenlined zones were generally stronger than in areas of L.A. that did not experience the HOLC grading, in part because redlined zones, which included some of the poorest locations of L.A., had the highest levels of dense urban conditions, e.g., impervious surface cover. In contrast, greenlined zones, which included some of the city's wealthiest areas, had the highest levels of green amenities, e.g., tree canopy cover. The White population of L.A., which constitutes the highest percentage of a racial or ethnic group in greenlined areas, was aligned with a considerably greater abundance of birds affiliated with natural habitat features (e.g., trees and shrubs). Conversely, the Hispanic or Latino population, which is dominant in redlined zones, was positively related to a significantly greater abundance of synanthropic birds, which are species associated with dense urban conditions. Our results suggest that historical redlining and contemporary patterns of income inequality are associated with distinct avifaunal communities and their habitat, which potentially influence the human experience of these components of biodiversity throughout L.A. Redlined zones and low-income residential areas that were not graded by the HOLC can particularly benefit from deliberate urban greening and habitat enhancement projects, which would likely carry over to benefit birds and humans.</p>
