Area Deprivation Index and Vulnerable Populations — How do I find them?


If you're familiar with the unique health challenges faced by Vulnerable Populations, then you might be interested in the Area Deprivation Index, also called the ADI, which is available here on BroadStreet!  

What is the Area Deprivation Index (ADI)? 

The ADI is a validated, measure of social and economic status for neighborhoods. It has been studied for 20 years and has been associated with many important health outcomes.

About The ADI

The Area Deprivation Index (ADI) is a standardized score with a score of 100 being the mean. Most (over 99%) communities will fall between a score of 40 to 160.

We also have an ADI percentile (on a card in the ADI report) that is 0 - 100% with 50% indicating a "middle of the nation" percentile.

Below is where to find it:
