The files make it easier to find a range of well-documented, readily linkable SDOH variables across domains without having to access multiple source files, facilitating SDOH research and analysis. | Not applicable | Data are currently available from 2009 to 2018. |
| CDC Social Vulnerability Index (SVI) | The Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry’s (ATSDR) Geospatial Research, Analysis and Services Program created the SVI to help emergency response planners and public health officials identify and map communities based on SDOH that will most likely need support before, during, and after a hazardous event. |
