a Log-minmax-scaled population density, battery SOC after a 2-week blackout and minmax-scaled car ownership rate for each census block group. b Scaled population density and scaled car ownership plotted against the percentage of the population experiencing access risk for each of the CSA considered in the study. Values were aggregated from the block group level using a population-weighted average. New York City was excluded from this plot because it was considered an outlier. Maps were generated using TIGER files from the US Census Bureau database Redistricting 2022, downloaded in April 2023.
