The Communities
We Serve

While there is no single way to
characterize communities located near
our sites, this population is more:

•	minority,

•	low income,

•	linguistically isolated,

•	less likely to have a high school
education

than the U.S. population as a whole.

As a result, these communities may have
fewer resources with which to address
concerns about their health and the
environment.
