Community Vulnerability Index Dashboard

A method to provide improved insight into community vulnerability by presenting data on a graphical user interface device comprising:

• automatically receiving real-time and non-real-time data from a variety of sources selected from the group consisting of education agencies, law enforcement, health services agencies, healthcare agencies, medical insurance agencies, housing and transportation agencies, childcare licensing agencies, and non-emergency citywide services;
• extracting and processing the ingested data;
• analyzing the processed data and determining values for a plurality of indicators and an overall vulnerability index value based on the values of the plurality of indicators to provide insight into the lives of residents in a community on a block group level;
• and
• displaying values of the plurality of indicators and the overall vulnerability index value;
• and
• displaying an interactive choropleth map of the overall vulnerability index and indicator values on a block group level for a community of interest.

A community vulnerability index dashboard comprising:

• a data ingestion logic module configured to automatically receive real-time and non-real-time data from a variety of sources selected from the group consisting of education agencies, law enforcement, health services agencies, healthcare agencies, medical insurance agencies, housing and transportation agencies, childcare licensing agencies, and non-emergency citywide services;
• a data processing module configured to extract and process the ingested data;
• a data analysis logic module configured to analyze the processed data to determine values for a plurality of indicators and an overall community vulnerability index value based on the values of the plurality of indicators selected from the group consisting of food insecurity, paycheck predictability, household structure, health insurance coverage, median income, educational attainment, internet connectivity, literacy, walkability, bikability, transit availability, employment, affordable housing, neighborhood safety, neighborhood stability, clean air, green space, life expectancy, alcohol abuse, disease burden, and mental health to provide insight into the lives of residents living in a community on a selectable granularity level;
• a database configured to store ingested data and provide access to the data by the data analysis logic module;
• and
• a data presentation dashboard interface to display values for the plurality of indicators and the overall vulnerability index value and an interactive choropleth map of the overall vulnerability index and indicator values on the selectable granularity level for a community of interest.
