Social Vulnerability Index was determined based on the 2020 US decennial census tract location of the home. It uses 16 U.S. census variables to indicate the relative vulnerability of every U.S. census tract to a hazardous event with values closer to 1 representing highly vulnerable areas and values closer to 0 representing least vulnerable areas.

Elicited chronic medical conditions included asthma, non-asthma chronic lung disease, cancer, diabetes, cardiovascular/heart disease, immunocompromising conditions, immune suppressing medications, kidney disease, liver disease, and other chronic medical conditions.
