Data

Below is a comparison of 14 different census categories of interest as they compare US national data to the Mountain Division. Additionally, we are comparing 2010 and 2020 data for these categories. The categories are of interest because they are used to determine social vulnerability. Overall, the Mountain Division data across most categories is a good representation of the US data as a whole, with very similar percentages across the different categories of interest.

2010 SVI Flag to Population Ratio Map - Mountain Division

Here is a map to show SVI flag information across Mountain Division counties in 2010. The darker blue colored counties show a higher social vulnerability index than the lighter blue counties. The SVI flags have been adjusted to account for population so that heavily populated areas are not overly represented to have a higher SVI flag.

2020 SVI Flag to Population Ratio Map - Mountain Division

Here is a map to show SVI flag information across Mountain Division counties in 2020. It is notable to see that Colorado has seen the SVI flags increase dramatically compared to the other states in the division, with Utah decreasing in SVI flags.
