Overlay ToxPi*GIS model (CalEnviroScreen example)

This tutorial shows how an existing model (example from CalEnviroScreen) can be configured as a ToxPi*GIS layer.


To recreate this example, select 'Map' from the menu at upper left. In the 'Map Type' selector, choose "WebMap PortalItem ID". Input the following PortalItem ID in the blank field:
0db22c1560b347508dec7873b97bd34a

Next, select 'Upload' from the menu . Upload this example ToxPi*GIS model file (contains ToxPi results for the 1,000 highest-score census tracts from CalEnviroScreen data):
ExampleModel.csv

The default display shows only the top 10 results. To adjust the display criteria, select 'Filter' from the menu at upper left. Then click on any ToxPi profile to bring up a scorecard that summarizes score drivers.

Create custom ToxPi model

Software for creation, import, export, analysis, and sharing of ToxPi models is available for free at https://toxpi.org

Choose map area

From the 'Map' menu item, you can choose what kind of underlying map information to display. This can be a combination of 'Basemap', 'Portal Item ID', and/or 'Feature Layers'. The ToxPi profiles ('Layers') will be drawn atop whatever combination of 'Map' items are chosen.

Interpreting ToxPi*GIS models

Data could come from environmental monitors, epidemiological surveys, health status, clinical data, socioeconomics, or any source that can be tied to an arbitrary geographic region (e.g. census tract, postal code, county, state, or country).
