Catalyst

The Oregon Socioeconomic Risk Tool combines the CDC/ATSDR Social Vulnerability Index, U.S. Census Bureau data, and ACS 5-Year Estimates into a single census-tract-level view of Oregon. It allows public-health officials, community organizations, policymakers, and Oregonians themselves to see which communities may require additional support before, during, or after emergency events.

Themes tracked

  • Socioeconomic status — poverty, unemployment, per-capita income, educational attainment
  • Household composition & disability — older adults, children, disability prevalence, single-parent households
  • Minority status & language — minority population share and English-language proficiency
  • Housing type & transportation — multi-unit and mobile-home shares, crowding, vehicle access, group quarters

The interactive map and detail panels open in a new tab. Click any Oregon county circle to see its merged distress and demographic profile.
