Title: | Social Vulnerability Index (SoVI) for Virginia based on 2000 Census Block Groups |
---|---|
Short Name: | SOVI_BlkGrp_2000_VA_shp |
Status: | Completed |
Publication Date: | 2011 |
Abstract: |
This data depicts the social vulnerability of Virginia census block groups to environmental hazards. Data were culled primarily from the 2000 Decennial Census. |
Purpose: |
The Social Vulnerability Index (SoVI) measures the social vulnerability of U.S. counties to environmental hazards. The index is a comparative metric that facilitates the examination of the differences in social vulnerability among counties. SoVI is a valuable tool for policy makers and practitioners. It graphically illustrates the geographic variation in social vulnerability. It shows where there is uneven capacity for preparedness and response and where resources might be used most effectively to reduce the pre-existing vulnerability. SoVI also is useful as an indicator in determining the differential recovery from disasters. |
