Figure 5-1 from a SEPA Environmental Justice Memorandum prepared by Landrum and Brown (document no. 553-2912-002, dated April 2026) maps Washington Department of Health Environmental Health Disparities Index scores across census tracts in the Sea-Tac Airport vicinity, including Seattle, Tukwila, Burien, SeaTac, Renton, Kent, and Des Moines. The map delineates four overlapping study areas—General Study Area, Surface Transportation Study Area, Air Dispersion Study Area, and Noise Study Area (65 dB contour)—over a background showing health disparity rankings ranging from 1–5 (Low) to 10 (High), with most tracts in the project vicinity ranked 9–10.
