Title
CDC\ATSDR Social Vulnerability Index 2020 - Minnesota [Minnesota]
Description
The CDC\ATSDR Social Vulnerability Index (SVI) is a tool, created by the Geospatial Research, Analysis and Services Program (GRASP), to help public health officials and emergency response planners identify and map the communities that will most likely need support before, during, and after a hazardous event. The tract-level SVI shows the relative vulnerability of the population of every U.S. Census tract. The county-level SVI shows the relative vulnerability of every U.S. county population. The SVI ranks tracts (or counties) on 16 social factors, described in detail in the documentation. The tract (or county) rankings for individual factors are further grouped into four related themes. Thus each enumeration unit receives a ranking for each Census variable and for each of the four themes, as well as an overall ranking., Social vulnerability refers to the potential negative effects on communities caused by external stresses on human health. Such stresses include natural or human-caused disasters, or disease outbreaks. Reducing social vulnerability can decrease both human suffering and economic loss. The CDC/ATSDR Social Vulnerability Index (CDC/ATSDR SVI) uses 16 U.S. census variables to help local officials identify communities that may need support before, during, or after disasters. The four summary theme ranking variable: 1. Socioeconomic Status – RPL_THEME1 2. Household Characteristics – RPL_THEME2 3. Racial & Ethnic Minority Status – RPL_THEME3 4. Housing Type & Transportation – RPL_THEME4 Possible scores range from 0 (lowest vulnerability) to 1 (highest vulnerability). RPL_THEMES provides the overall ranking based on above 4 parameters. SVI data will be updated every 2 years. , Published to GDRS
