SECTION 4: RISK ASSESSMENT
4.4
ASSET INVENTORY
North Carolina Emergency Management’s (NCEM) IRISK database provided the asset inventory used for this vulnerability assessment. Population data in IRISK is pulled from the 2010 Census and includes a breakdown of population into two subpopulations considered to be a greater risk than the general population, the elderly and children. Table 4.6 details the population counts by jurisdiction used for the vulnerability assessment. Table 4.6 – Population Counts by Jurisdiction, 2010
Elderly (Age 65 and Over)
Children (Age 5 and Under)

Building counts were also provided by the IRISK database. These values were generated using locally- provided building footprint and parcel data. The methodology for generating the building asset inventory is described in greater detail in Section 4.3. Note that these building counts were provided in 2010, and Wake County has since experienced a substantial amount of growth and new development. Therefore, the exposure reflected in the following tables is an underestimate of actual present-day exposure. Section 3 Planning Area Profile describes the growth that has occurred since 2010 and provides a means of estimating the degree to which exposure and vulnerability may have increased.
