Description:Please see the data dictionary as well as the CDC SVI 2016-2014 crosswalk below.
ATSDR’s Geospatial Research, Analysis & Services Program (GRASP) created CDC Social Vulnerability Index (SVI, hereafter) 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.
SVI indicates the relative vulnerability of every U.S. Census tract. Census tracts are subdivisions of counties for which the Census collects statistical data. SVI ranks the tracts on 15 social factors, including unemployment, minority status, and disability, and further groups them into four related themes. Thus, each tract receives a ranking for each Census variable and for each of the four themes, as well as an overall ranking. In addition to tract-level rankings, SVI 2010, 2014, and 2016 also have corresponding rankings at the county level. Notes below that describe “tract” methods also refer to county methods.
