51	The data are separated into three separate tabs: Neighborhood-Level Data, which provides data at the 'neighborhood' level where it is available; City-Level Data, which represents aggregated data at the City scale; and Equity Data, which provides the Environmental Concentration Index scores for spatially-explicit indicators at the neighborhood scale. See Equity section at datadrivenlab.org/urban
