Canopulse
For greener, cooler, more equitable cities

California climate-priority screening for heat, canopy, and equity. Traceable, transparent, report-ready.

Canopulse turns published source data on tree canopy, land-surface heat, impervious surface, social vulnerability, and environmental burden into tract-level screening reports you can inspect, cite, and export. California UCRI covers all 9,129 statewide tract records, with CalEnviroScreen 5.0 supplying the current environmental-burden component.

Screening context with visible sources, release provenance, and limitations.

Linking statewide ranking

How it works

From public data to a report you can inspect.

01

Screen

Rank every tract by combined heat, canopy, and equity priority using the Urban Canopy Risk Index.

02

Understand

Inspect the weighted drivers behind each score, with raw values and source trails.

03

Report

Generate a screening report with maps, confidence labels, and planning-oriented language.

04

Export

Print or save reports as PDF, then export released records as CSV for analysis and grant workflows.

California UCRI score story | scroll

01 / 05

58 counties. 9,129 California census tracts.

One statewide operating model, organized for county-scale orientation and full-resolution tract review.

02 / 05

Every record is linked to a 2020 California tract.

Stable 11-digit GEOIDs connect the map, scores, ranks, raw conditions, provenance, and reports.

03 / 05

Five documented signals retain their source context.

Canopy deficit, heat exposure, impervious surface, social vulnerability, and environmental burden remain inspectable below the composite.

04 / 05

UCRI = 0.25 CDS + 0.25 HES + 0.15 ISS + 0.20 SVS + 0.15 EBS.

California UCRI uses statewide percentiles and CalEnviroScreen 5.0 Pollution Burden for EBS.

05 / 05

1,810 tracts screen as Extreme.

Extreme is a relative category in the current statewide UCRI distribution, not an emergency or health-risk designation. Every highlighted tract remains traceable to the July 2026 release.

New: Grant Evidence Engine

Structured screening evidence for grant work.

The Grant Evidence Engine organizes screening evidence into structured packages for grant-development workflows in urban forestry, heat resilience, and equity-focused funding. Every value carries a traceable, source-linked audit trail. A full evidence package is generated by the platform, free.
