Comparison of two area-level socioeconomic deprivation indices: Implications for public health research, practice, and policy
Fig 1
Distribution of census tracts classified by ADI and SVI scores.
Abbreviations: ADI, area deprivation index; SVI, social vulnerability index. a = For each index, scores were categorized by decile. b = For this study, a population-weighted mean was used to aggregate ADI block group data to tract. c = Census tracts within light lines (upper left and lower right corners) had “poor agreement,” or index scores that differed by at least 6 deciles [6.3% (4,514 tracts)]. Good and poor index agreement tracts within the highest (10) and lowest (1) index score deciles were analyzed in this study (Figs 1 and 3). d = Tract counts within dark lines had “good agreement,” or index scores that differed by 0 to 1 decile [44.4% (31,829 tracts)]. Bold text within the dark lines indicates census tracts with ADI and SVI scores within the same decile.
