Social Vulnerability Index
The Social Vulnerability Index 6 (SVI) is a tool designed to help public health officials and emergency response planners identify and map communities that are most likely to need support before, during, and after hazardous events. It measures the relative vulnerability of each U.S. census tract by ranking them on 16 social factors, including unemployment, racial and ethnic minority status, and disability status. These factors are grouped into four related themes, providing each census tract with a ranking for the individual variables, the four themes, and an overall ranking. These SVI elements were analyzed and compared with crash data to assess the level of disproportionate impact of crashes on vulnerable communities. Table 7 reveals that over 34% of total crashes and more than 36% of KSI crashes occurred in areas with high social vulnerability. When combining medium-high and high vulnerability areas, these zones accounted for more than 60% of both total and KSI crashes. This underscores the disproportionate safety concerns faced by communities in these vulnerable areas.
