How it Works

ArchEPI compiles an array of existing, openly available datasets about environmental exposures, social factors, and health outcomes into a coherent, actionable set of health priorities, associated evidence-based design strategies, and related metrics that are relevant at the neighborhood and community scales.

Demo

Walk through a model multi-family project in New York City. In a few clicks, the project team learns:

  1. Which health topics are most important for the site

  2. How those topics relate to local commitments

  3. Which design strategies to prioritize

Dive into the Data

ArchEPI draws from openly available datasets from reputable sources such as the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), and local Open Data portals.
