Title:
Area Deprivation Index - 3 (ADI-3), tract. 2013-2017 5-year ACS
Abstract:
The Area Deprivation Index - 3 (ADI-3) is an extension of G.K. Singh's 2003 version of ADI (G.K. Singh. Area deprivation and widening inequalities in US Mortality, 1969-1998. Am. J. Public Health, 93, 1137-1143 (2003). Https://doi.org/10.2105/AJPH.93.7.1137). ADI is unidimensional index based on 17 publicly available socioeconomic indicators available in the American Community Survey (2010 to the present). The higher the ADI value for a geographic unit, the higher the deprivation level is for that geographic unit. Berg et al. extended the ADI to a multidimensional construct encompassing neighborhood financial strength, economic hardship and inequality, and educational attainment. This data file includes both the unidimensional ADI value and values for the three factors identified by Berg et al.
