This platform explores the relationship between power outages across Los Angeles and the environmental, socio-economic, and public-health equity factors of the communities that experience them. The two side-by-side maps move together, outages on the left and equity on the right, so patterns can be compared directly. It offers three primary features:

• Power Outage Exploration: Explore outages across the LADWP service area from 2011 onward, broken down by year, month, time of day, and cause, viewed as either outage frequency or total duration.
• Equity Matrix: Investigate socio-economic, environmental, and health factors at the census-tract level, with detailed demographics for every tract in Los Angeles County.
• Correlation Analysis: The synchronized maps let you visually connect outage patterns with equity factors and uncover where burdens overlap.

Equity data comes from CalEnviroScreen 4.0 (California OEHHA) at the census-tract level; boundaries come from the City of Los Angeles open GIS portal; the basemap is the open-source MapLibre framework on CARTO tiles. Outage points are a modeled, in-schema reconstruction (no public point-level LADWP outage history exists) intended to demonstrate the platform's analytical features. Best viewed on PC, Mac, or tablet.

The City of Los Angeles sits on the ancestral, traditional, and unceded lands of the Gabrielino / Tongva peoples. We acknowledge them as the traditional caretakers of this land and honor their enduring relationship with it.
