Hi John, have you seen what Mack Wood with the State of Alaska created https://arcg.is/19GiWT

He's been working on this and has done some interesting analyses with it. FYI, the state is calling it the Health Equity Index.

let me know if you'd like to be connected to this work.

Hey Jared,

I was aware of what Mack created. It's great, but I was curious about drilling deeper into further ACS supported geometries. I put in for a small grant with UAF OIPC - Center ICE to experiment with some of those finer scale data, and this is what I came up with.

I haven't shown these maps to Mack or anyone from DHSS yet (I still need to finish my report) but hopefully they might find them useful somewhere down the line.

I'm planning on sending this to them in the next week or so, I'll loop you in. I'd welcome any feedback.

Cheers, John
