PEOPLE & VULNERABILITIES

A unified view of community characteristics and vulnerability.

The People & Vulnerabilities Foundation includes a curated collection of datasets offering a granular view of community and household characteristics, aligned and modeled to evaluate vulnerability to climate risks and environmental stress, as well as eligibility and need for public and disaster assistance. The metrics available in this Data Foundation serve as the critical components for building Resilience Insights.

Data categories & pre-computed metrics

Ready-to-use datasets and metrics let you spend less time curating and cleaning data and more time focused on making critical decisions.

Population & Household Characteristics

A complete catalog of key socio-demographic indicators, including age, education, income, language, race and ethnicity, broadband access and more – available at multiple geographic scales and sourced from federal, state, and commercial data providers.

Community Health Factors

Comprehensive health datasets provide geographic level insights and metrics on medical center and hospital accessibility, chronic diseases, nursing homes, and social vulnerability.

Equity & Environmental Justice

Transforming data on poverty and housing characteristics into measures such as: the percentage of the population exposed to environmental pollution, and percentage of households that are at risk of food insufficiency.

Vulnerability & Program Eligibility Measures

Specialized vulnerability and eligibility models map economic stress measures, such as food insecurity, and eligibility for major public assistance programs.

Across industries, we turn siloed data into holistic insights

The best raw data sourced and organized

The People & Vulnerabilities Foundation sources and organizes a complete catalog of regularly updated socio-demographic and community traits metrics from commercial and public federal, state and local data providers.

Normalized and aligned for effective data layering

All datasets are rigorously cleaned and aligned across all 160 millions parcels in the UrbanFootprint Base Canvas to power mapping and multidimensional analysis at any scale.

Processed and modeled for purpose-built solutions

We deploy novel machine learning models to model and regularly update sector-specific insights on community vulnerability, economic stress, and household need for public assistance.

Building Resilience Insights

Resilience Insights intersect specifically curated data metrics and models from the Data Foundations to drive more effective investment prioritization, quantified risk and vulnerability assessments, and optimized site selection and infrastructure investments.
