The following seven populations were determined to be vulnerable based on an understanding of both federal requirements and regional demographics: \n\n1. Poverty\n2. Non-Hispanic, Non-White\n3. Hispanic\n4. Limited English Proficiency (LEP)\n5. Disabled\n6. Elderly\n7. Carless\n\nEach 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 \u201c1\u201d at 0% to 50% above the mean and \u201c2\u201d for 51% to 100% above the mean. As a result, each Census tract is considered vulnerable for between zero and seven sensitive populations\nwith 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.\n", "summary": "This web service contains the 2017 Vulneralble Population Index along with the component demographic layers.
