including: environmental stressors, land cover and use, demographics, policy
and planning and government finance at Census Place and regional (county or

limitations of the current approach, and evaluate alternative datasets and
classification structures to improve the quality of the approach and the
geographic coverage of the outputs.

social sciences, urban planning, or a closely related field from an accredited
university or college within the last 24 months.
