We then combined our health-at-risk map with our individuals economically at risk and commercial industries at risk to create a final MCE map to show areas most affected if including all of these variables.
All of the raster files were already done from previous steps. The weight we chose for each layer was 0.33 as we estimated that the impacts would be the same for each layer. Hence here are the following weights used:
Physically at-risk 0.33 | Economically (individual): 0.33 | Commercial: 0.33 |
80+ : 0.114015
PM2.5 Exposure: 0.114015 70-79: 0.06039 60-69: 0.030195 50-59:0.011319 |
Retired: 0.11
Sales occupations: 0.11 30% income or more on shelter costs: 0.11 |
