The CalEnviroScreen 4.0 data was released to the public in October 2021, and is a tool used to assess environmetal, health, and socioeconomic information throughout the state of California. In this dashboard, we will be assessing access drinking water percentile throughout the main Bay Area Counties (Alameda, Contra Costa, Marin, Napa, San Francisco, San Mateo, Santa Clara, Solano, Sonoma. We then dive into other possible indicators of drinking water availability, and how factors may be associated with the quality of water in each of the bay areas counties.

Based off this table below, it’s difficult to identify an exact trend identifying which factors are most significantly associated with higher Drinking Water Contamination. Further statistical tests could be run, or public health professionals may want to investigate other possible factors contributing to drinking water contamination.
And that’s the end of this module – in essence, it’s just a new way to organize and use an RMD to output a different product. And there are many more customizations and additional arguments that can further enhance your dashboard product, so be sure to take a look at the assigned chapter to learn about the possibilities! The final step is to click “Knit to flex_dashboard”. This will give you an HTML document that you can share with others.
