** COVID-19 Stress Test for Local Governments ([link removed])
------------------------------------------------------------
Using three measures of fiscal health, the Virginia Department of Housing and Community Development has come up with an index to show which local governments could be most vulnerable to fiscal fallout from COVID-19. This map shows the most vulnerable locality could be the City of Williamsburg, where the local economy is heavily dependent upon tourism.

** Predicting Virginia's Vulnerable Areas ([link removed])
------------------------------------------------------------
The Centers for Disease Control created a Social Vulnerability Index that uses 15 social factors (including poverty, lack of access to transportation, and crowded housing) to rank census tracts on their social vulnerability. Communities with a higher social vulnerability may have a weakened ability to prevent human suffering and financial loss in an epidemic.
