        <idPurp>This layer contains Region 2 census tracts displaying a territory-equivalent FEMA Community Resilience Challenges Index (CRCI) that includes U.S. Virgin Islands (USVI). The CRCI Percentile is a composite, model-derived measure that utilizes key resilience indicators to support comparative analyses of community resilience challenges.

Methodology &amp; Adaptation:

In September 2026, the FEMA Region II Mitigation Operations GIS/Data Team developed this territory-equivalent CRCI using USVI-specific, tract-level data. The calculations adapt the national FEMA CRCI framework documented in the FEMA and Argonne National Laboratory report, "Community Resilience Indicator Analysis: 2022 Update."

Due to data limitations, this territory-specific index excludes four national CRCI indicators:
*Population with Disability
*Number of Hospitals
*Inactive Voters
*Population without Religious Affiliation

For questions or to request the raw data utilized in this CRCI adaptation, please contact the FEMA Region II Mitigation Operations GIS/Data Team at fema-r2-mit-ops-gis-team@fema.dhs.gov.
