<DIV STYLE="text-align:Left;"><DIV><P><SPAN>The feature class provides an in-depth representation of census tracts within Baltimore County, originating from the esteemed Centers for Disease Control. It is a crucial segment of the CDC's 2020 Social Vulnerability Index (SVI), a tool designed to assess and determine the resilience of communities when confronted by external stresses on human health, such as natural disasters or disease outbreaks. The SVI is underpinned by factors like poverty, lack of access to transportation, and crowded housing, among other variables. Each census tract polygon in this dataset encompasses comprehensive data on these factors, providing researchers, policymakers, and public health officials an essential tool to identify areas in Baltimore County that may need support in times of adversity. The dataset aids in the spatial interpretation of social vulnerability, enabling informed decisions on resource allocation, emergency preparedness, and community engagement initiatives.</SPAN></P></DIV></DIV> |
