Signs on Static (non-interactive) Maps Static (or stationary)
maps are available here to view and download. Some of the Vital
Signs are not available on the interactive mapping system, since they are
extremely complex or are only available by Zip code. Below are those indicators
in a static (or stationary) format for you to download. NOTE:
Below are maps for some of the Vital Signs by Community Statistical Area.
Maps for the Vital Signs portrayed by Zip code are coming soon! Static

by Community Statistical
Areas These maps show data by Community Statistical
Areas (CSAs) in Baltimore City. Some CSA are labeled for orientation purposes
only. Racial Diversity Index - 2000 The
Index measures the probability, or odds, that two people picked at random will
be of different race/ethnicity. It is calculated using the probability that any
two people in a given area are white, black, Asian, American Indian or Native
Hawaiian, etc. This index uses U.S. Census 2000 population data at the census
tract level and is aggregated up to the Community Statistical Area (CSA) level.
The USA Today Diversity Index, created in 1991, was adapted for creating this
index. This is an indicator of racial diversity in an area.
The higher the percent, the more racially diverse the area.

Diversity Index - 2000 The Index measures the percent
chance that two households picked at random from the neighborhood will earn median
household income of a different income range. The ranges are: less than $25,000;
$25,000-39,999; $40,000-$59,999; $60,000-$74,999; $75,000 and higher. This
is an indicator of economic diversity in an area. The higher the percent, the
more economically diverse the area.

and Child Health Index-2000, 2001, 2002, 2003 This index
indicates the health of mothers and infants and is a composite score of births
delivered at term, births where mothers receive prenatal care, and births delivered
having satisfactory birth weight. The average score for the entire city is zero.
All CSAs with positive scores indicate relatively more
healthy areas when compared to the city as a whole while negative scores indicate
relatively less healthy areas. Graduated color map highlights
areas that need more attention and areas that are doing relatively well. View

of families earning below the Family Economic Self-Sufficiency Standard This
map shows the number of families with less than six children who do not earn enough
to fully support a family without additional income supports (i.e., public assistance)
out of all families with less than six children. The Family
Self-Sufficiency Standard is the amount of income needed for families of various
types (one parent with two children, two parents with two children, etc.) to meet
the costs of sustaining that family. Costs factored in include health care, day
care, transportation, food, etc. The concept was first introduced for eight states
by the organizations of Wider Opportunities for Women, Maryland Advocates for
Children and Youth. View
