The Wisconsin Heat Vulnerability Index (HVI) is based on multiple indicators associated with risk for heat related illness and mortality. The index analysis was created as a measure of vulnerability by U.S. Census block groups during an extreme heat-related event. The measure includes health factors, demographic and household characteristics, natural and built environment factors (e.g. air quality, temperature, land cover) and population density. This dataset was automatically cataloged from the creator's Open Data Portal. In some cases, publication year and bounding coordinates shown here may be incorrect.
