From: Urban–rural disparity of social vulnerability to natural hazards in Australia
Spatial patterns of the vulnerability index in rural areas for (1) overall (combining five themes); (2) Theme 1 (socioeconomic status); (3) Theme 2 (demographics and disability); (4) Theme 3 (minority and languages); (5) Theme 4 (housing characteristics); (6) Theme 5 (built environment). The vulnerability index is classified by standard deviation with a colour ramp from green indicating low vulnerability (smaller than -2.5 standard deviation) to dark pink indicating high vulnerability (larger than 2.5 standard deviation). Grey areas have no data given these areas with the number of populations less than 50 contain census data randomly assigned by Australian Bureau of Statistics due to the concern of data privacy.
