ndi: Neighborhood Deprivation Indices
Computes various metrics of socio-economic deprivation and disparity in
the United States. Some metrics are considered "spatial" because they
consider the values of neighboring (i.e., adjacent) census geographies in
their computation, while other metrics are "aspatial" because they only
consider the value within each census geography. Two types of aspatial
neighborhood deprivation indices (NDI) are available: including:
(1) based on Messer et al. (2006) <doi:10.1007/s11524-006-9094-x>
and (2) based on Andrews et al. (2020) <doi:10.1080/17445647.2020.1750066>
and Slotman et al. (2022) <doi:10.1016/j.dib.2022.108002>
who use variables chosen by Roux and Mair (2010)
<doi:10.1111/j.1749-6632.2009.05333.x>. Both are a decomposition
of multiple demographic characteristics from the U.S. Census Bureau
American Community Survey 5-year estimates (ACS-5; 2010-2020). Using data
from the ACS-5 (2009-2020), the package can also (1) compute the spatial
Racial Isolation Index (RI) based on Anthopolos et al. (2011)
<doi:10.1016/j.sste.2011.06.002>s, (2) compute spatial the Educational Isolation
Index (EI) based on Bravo et al. (2021) <doi:10.3390/ijerph18179384>,and
(3) retrieve the aspatial Gini Index based on Gini (1921) <doi:10.2307/2223319>.
