The Proximity Tool (ProxTool) is used to characterize the size and demographic make-up of populations living within a user specified area around facilities or other locations of interest. User inputs to the tool include an ID for each facility (or location), the latitude and longitude for each facility (or location), and the radius of the circular area of interest surrounding each facility (or location) in kilometers (km) up to 50 km (e.g., 5 km radius). It should be noted that proximity to affected facilities does not indicate that any exposures or impacts will occur and should not be interpreted as a direct measure of exposure or impact.

About

A stand-alone population proximity application that produces some of the HEM Demographic Assessment outputs without the need for all the HEM machinery. This branch is using the Great Circle formula to compute distances between facility locations (lat/lon) and census block centroids (lat/lon).
