48239 SoVI2010 Data Set Published / External 37226 Demographic Project Completed 2014-01-15 The Social Vulnerability Index (SoVI) 2006-10 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.The index synthesizes 27 socioeconomic variables, which the research literature suggests contribute to reduction in a community's ability to prepare for, respond to, and recover from hazards. SoVI data sources include primarily those from the United States Census Bureau.The data are compiled and processed by the Hazards and Vulnerability Research Institute at the University of South Carolina. The data are standardized and placed into a principal components analysis to reduce the initial set of variables into a smaller set of statistically optimized components. Adjustments are made to the components' cardinality (positive (+) or negative (-)) to insure that positive component loadings are associated with increased vulnerability, and negative component loadings are associated with decreased vulnerability. Once the cardinalities of the components are determined, the components are added together to determine the numerical social vulnerability score for each county.SoVI 2006-10 marks a change in the formulation of the SoVI metric from earlier versions. New directions in the theory and practice of vulnerability science emphasize the constraints of family structure, language barriers, vehicle availability, medical disabilities, and healthcare access in the preparation for and response to disasters, thus necessitating the inclusion of such factors in SoVI. Extensive testing of earlier conceptualizations of SoVI, in addition to the introduction of the U.S. Census Bureau's five-year American Community Survey (ACS) estimates, warrants changes to the SoVI recipe, resulting in a more robust metric. These changes, pioneered with the ACS-based SoVI 2005-09 carry over to SoVI 2006-10, which combines the best data available from both the 2010 U.S. Decennial Census and five-year estimates from the 2006-2010 ACS. The index is a comparative metric that facilitates the examination of the differences in social vulnerability among counties. It shows uneven capacity for preparedness and response and where resources might be used most effectively to reduce the pre-existing vulnerability. 10855 Theme ISO 19115 Topic Category planningCadastre Theme ISO 19115 Topic Category society Theme Social Vulnerability to Environmental Hazards Temporal Uses Census 2010 and ACS 06-10 (5 Year Estimates) Spatial Alabama Spatial Alaska Spatial California Spatial Connecticut Spatial Delaware Spatial Florida Spatial Georgia Spatial Hawaii Spatial Illinois Spatial Indiana Spatial Louisiana Spatial Maine Spatial Maryland Spatial Massachusetts Spatial Michigan Spatial Minnesota Spatial Mississippi Spatial New Hampshire Spatial New Jersey Spatial New York Spatial North Carolina Spatial Ohio Spatial Oregon Spatial Pennsylvania Spatial Rhode Island Spatial South Carolina Spatial Texas Spatial U.S. Spatial Virginia Spatial Washington Spatial Wisconsin Office for Coastal Management Charleston SC Data Set As Needed Map (digital) Any conclusions drawn from the analysis of this information are not the responsibility of the NOAA Office for Coastal Management or its partners.
