Data, analysis scripts, and derived outputs reproducing the setback analysis between occupied buildings and active oil and gas wells in Karnes County, Texas, using public data (Texas Railroad Commission well locations; FEMA/ORNL USA Structures building footprints; and U.S. Census TIGER/Line block groups and 2020-2024 American Community Survey). The pipeline runs offline in Python (geopandas) and reproduces every reported distance, summary statistic, table, and figure in the associated article. This package reproduces and updates Chapter 3 of the author's doctoral dissertation: Vera, Lourdes (2022), "Environmental Data Justice in Action: Civically Valid Air Monitoring Near Oil and Gas Extraction in the Eagle Ford Shale Play," Ph.D. dissertation, Northeastern University, Boston, MA.
