Description: This indicator represents the tracts ranked by their percentile proximity to brownfield sites. The data source is CT DEEP Hazardous Waste Inventory 2021, Brownfields. The percentile and the rank were calculated. A percentile is a score indicating the value below which a given percentage of observations in a group of observations fall. It indicates the relative position of a particular value within a dataset. For example, the 20th percentile is the value below which 20% of the observations may be found. The rank refers to a process of arranging percentiles in descending order, starting from the highest percentile and ending with the lowest percentile. Once the percentiles are ranked, a normalization step is performed to rescale the rank values between 0 and 10. A rank value of 10 represents the highest percentile, while a rank value of 0 corresponds to the lowest percentile in the dataset. The normalized rank provides a relative assessment of the position of each percentile within the distribution, making it simpler to understand the relative magnitude of differences between percentiles. Normalization between 0 and 10 ensures that the rank values are standardized and uniformly distributed within the specified range. This normalization allows for easier interpretation and comparison of the rank values, as they are now on a consistent scale.For detailed methods, go to connecticut-environmental-justice.circa.uconn.edu.
