Dataset: Rural Coastal Vulnerability Index

Abstract
This data is from a project focused on building resilience across rural localities. The Rural Coastal Vulnerability Index (RCVI) is composed of four input layers: 1) FEMA flood zone status, 2) road flooding, 3) septic system failures, and 4) private wells. These 4 criteria cover the vulnerability of critical rural infrastructure—much of which is privately owned (houses, septic systems, private wells). It also includes an assessment of the social vulnerability in the area. Areas with the highest scores have high vulnerability in multiple categories. Areas with the lowest scores have low vulnerability across most categories (but may be high in one).
