Community Resilience Estimates (CRE) for Puerto Rico
The Community Resilience Estimates (CRE) for Puerto Rico provide an easily understood metric for a community’s capacity to withstand and recover from external stressors or disasters – such as hurricanes or hazardous events. The CRE for Puerto Rico is part of the Community Resilience Estimates Program and is part of our effort to measure social vulnerability for our nation and its people.
Using restricted microdata from the Puerto Rico Community Survey (PRCS) and small area estimation methods, the experimental estimates measure social vulnerability to disasters at the commonwealth, municipio and census tract geographic levels.
Social vulnerability is measured based on 10 PRCS indicators:
- Poverty status.
- Disability status.
- Number of caregivers in the households.
- Unit-level crowding.
- Vehicle access.
- Broadband internet.
- Employment.
- Education.
- Age.
- Health insurance.
