The U.S. Census Bureau has made strides in producing innovative high-quality small area estimates to help disaster efforts in the form of the Community Resilience Estimates (CRE) and now the forthcoming experimental Community Capacity Estimates (CCE). While the CRE measures social vulnerability of a community, the CCE will measure the vital sociocultural and economic resources of a community when recovering from a disaster. Since the CCE is an upcoming new experimental product, less is known regarding its overlap with the CRE, and how to resolve any potential discrepancies in estimates. This poster presents an exploratory analysis that merges the 2019 CRE, Equity Supplement with an early test file of the 2019 experimental CCE. Analyses examine the level of overlap in estimates and how to interpret potential discrepancies. Overall, it is recommended to use the CRE and CCE in conjunction with one another to understand the characteristics and resilience of a community when facing disasters.
