This map of the Albuquerque MSA highlights the region, which includes three counties: Bernalillo, Sandoval, Valencia, and Torrance. Within this area, frontline communities are yellow and the rest of the region is white. The map quickly shows how the vast majority of the area is considered frontline communities or using EPA's term, low-income disadvantaged communities. These are communities hit first and worst by the effects of climate change. This map uses Justice40 map data to highlight frontline communities on the map.
