Data Collection, Visualization, and Reporting

Systems of Power: Place-based health metrics like these capture key contributors to the risk of getting COVID-19 or having a worse outcome including poverty, reliance on public transportation, and crowded housing.

The National Academies’ report recommends place-based measures of social vulnerability, such as the Centers for Disease Control & Prevention Social Vulnerability Index (SVI) or the COVID-19 Community Vulnerability Index (CCVI), which includes racial, ethnic, and language composition of a census tract.
