This web service contains the 2017 Vulneralble Population Index along with the component demographic layers. The following seven populations were determined to be vulnerable based on an understanding of both federal requirements and regional demographics: 1. Poverty
2. Non-Hispanic, Non-White
3. Hispanic
4. Limited English Proficiency (LEP)
5. Disabled
6. Elderly
7. Carless
Each Census tract can contain a concentration greater than the regional threshold for each individual population group considered sensitive. Tracts above the regional concentration are divided into two categories with a score of “1” at 0% to 50% above the mean and “2” for 51% to 100% above the mean. As a result, each Census tract is considered vulnerable for between zero and seven sensitive populations
with a total score between zero and fourteen. The number of vulnerable populations in each Census tract is referred to the Vulnerable Population Index. A lower VPI indicates a less vulnerable area, while a higher VPI indicates a more vulnerable area.
