Indicators fall within one of 6 dimensions: demographic characteristics, exposure to stressors, health, land tenure, living conditions, risk perception, and socioeconomic status. Within the dimensions there were 50 determinants that individual indicators, or data variables fit within. The most well studied were demographic characteristics of ethnicity and race and related to age. Similarly, socioeconomic variables related to income, wealth, and education were relatively well studied. Exposure to various physical conditions were also well studied. To access the data, including the number of studies for each indicator and their relationship with vulnerability, go to the csv  provided:  https://www.sciencebase.gov/catalog/item/63f79d49d34e4f7eda456572"></div>
