About: ESRI's Diversity Index captures the racial and ethnic diversity of a geographic area in a single number, from 0 to 100. The Diversity Index allows for efficient analysis and mapping of seven race groups that can be either of Hispanic or non-Hispanic
Esri represents the likelihood that two persons, chosen at random from the same area, belong to different race or ethnic
racial diversity, is included in the definition of the Diversity Index. A higher number indicates a more diverse population.

% Households Below Poverty Level
Richland County Rank – 7/11 Lexington County Rank – 2/11
About: The number of households who are below the poverty level. Poverty status is determined by comparing the person’s total family income in the last 12 months with the poverty threshold appropriate for that person's family size and composition. If the total income of that person's family is less than the threshold appropriate for that family, then the person is considered “below the poverty level." The American Community Survey (ACS) period estimates are based on a rolling sample survey spanning a 60- month period. A Margin of Error (MOE) measures the variability of the estimate due to sampling error. Esri's Reliability measure designates the usability of the estimate

Household Disposable Income
Richland County Rank – 8/11 Lexington County Rank – 4/11
About: Current-year estimate of average disposable income. It is computed by dividing aggregate disposable income by all households with disposable income. Disposable income represents money income after taxes. Four types of taxes are deducted: federal individual income taxes, state individual income taxes, FICA (Social Security) and federal retirement payroll taxes, and property taxes for owner-
Housing Affordability Index
15
Richland County Rank – 5/11 Lexington County Rank – 1/11
About: The Housing Affordability Index measures the likelihood that a family in the county earns enough income to qualify for a mortgage loan on a typical home at the national and regional levels based on the most recent data regarding price and income. Index value above 100 means families have more than enough income to qualify for a mortgage loan, assuming a down payment of 20% of the home price and a qualifying ratio of 25%. The higher the index rating, the more likely it is that a family can afford to purchase a house. Source: ESRI Community Analyst

Richland County Rank – 4/11 Lexington County Rank – 8/11
About: Current-year estimate of total housing units and vacant housing units. A housing unit is a house, an apartment, a mobile home, a group of rooms, or a single room that is occupied (or if vacant, is intended for occupancy) as separate living quarters. Separate living quarters are those in which the occupants live separately from any other people in the building and which have direct access from the outside of the building or through a common hall. Occupants may be a single family, one person living alone, two or more families living together, or any other group of related or unrelated people who share livingCommute Time – Primary County
