Launch Product

The Sidewalk and Street Tree Screening Tool utilizes data on extreme heat vulnerability, equity, tree canopy coverage, and sidewalk density. This map identifies locations in the DVRPC region where sidewalk repair and street tree planting would have the greatest impact. There are four (4) different analysis categories that were combined into one overall Priority Score (ranging from 0-16). The four categories include:

  • Temperature Score
  • Social Vulnerability Score
  • Tree Canopy Density
  • Sidewalk Density

Geographic Area Covered: DVRPC Region, Bucks County, Burlington County, Camden County, Chester County, Delaware County, Gloucester County, Mercer County, Montgomery County, Philadelphia
