Social Vulnerability Index

Select a Census Tract

Measurement Period: 2020

This indicator shows the overall social vulnerability index (SVI) percentile rank at the county or census tract level. Possible scores range from 0 (lowest vulnerability) to 1 (highest vulnerability) and are ranked against other counties or census tracts in Pennsylvania.

Additional notes on the data and tools can be found on the CDC's Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry SVI site: https://www.atsdr.cdc.gov/placeandhealth/svi/data_documentation_download.html.

Why is this important?

Social factors that affect a community's health may also significantly affect their resilience in the event of a public health emergency or disaster. Social vulnerability refers to a community's inability to sufficiently prepare for, mitigate, and recover after disasters. This indicator uses 16 census variables to help local public health officials identify vulnerable populations and communities most in need of support and quickly establish priorities during an emergency.
