Vulnerability

Households vulnerability analysis


To answer the question of where the most vulnerable groups exist within the city, we use the multidimensional vulnerability index to assess intersectional vulnerabilities at the household level, and then aggregate to the neighborhood level. The dataset derived from the aforementioned socio-economic impact assessment (SEIA) that was conducted after the blast.
