We discovered that, on average, the worst-performing elementary schools, fast food restaurants, and Superfund sites in Rhode Island were clustered in neighborhoods with a larger black population and lower household income. In this study, we utilize a multi-disciplinary approach that combines GIS and citizen science to examine the distribution of environmental health burdens in Rhode Island using data from publicly available sources. This study is the first to utilize GIS to examine the relationship between community demographic data and the distribution of multiple sources of environmental health burden in Rhode Island.	./cache/cord-327224-e4rlbfin.txt	./txt/cord-327224-e4rlbfin.txt
