Community resilience is the capacity of individuals and households within a community to absorb the external stresses of a disaster and include components such as poverty, number of caregivers in the household, unit-level crowding, communication barrier, unemployment, disability, health insurance coverage, age, vehicle access, and broadband internet access. Natural hazard ratings come from the March 2023 release of the Federal Emergency Management Agency’s National Risk Index. The Census Bureau ranks all counties in the U.S. according to the percentage of their population that have 3 or more components of social vulnerability and below are the top 5 counties in Texas with these components. | | | | | | Small Area Income and Poverty Estimates for States, Counties and School Districts | | | | | | The U.S. Census Bureau recently released the latest data from the Small Area Income and Poverty Estimates (SAIPE) program which provides annual estimates of income and poverty statistics for all school districts, counties, and states.
