Access Compare My Area in the Interactive Map from the chart icon shown outlined in red in the image above.
The new Compare My Area tool lets you select a location on the map and view summarized information
for your area of interest and compare those values to the surrounding county and state,
•	Reports are available by watershed or Census tract.
•	Available data for comparison include watershed land cover characteristics, select
demographics, as well as ambient air toxics concentrations, and derived cancer and non-cancer
health risks associated with air toxics from NATA 2014.

nitrogen
phosphorus and
organic enrichment
as well as wastewater flow discharges.

o These national maps are summarized by HUC-12 and include forest, agriculture,
developed land in floodplains and more.
o These data replace previous "wet areas" data layers (10 layers total).
•	National Air Toxics Assessment (NATA) 2014 metrics
o These include ambient air toxics concentrations, and derived cancer and non-cancer
health risks by Census Tract.
•	Roads crossing streams and roads near streams
o These national maps are summarized by HUC-12 and are useful for enhanced runoff
mitigation planning.
