Area Deprivation Index
Area Deprivation Index (ADI) is a measure of SES, determined from 17
variables including income, education, employment, and housing quality
collected by the United States Census Bureau.15 By
assigning a national percentile to each residential address at the
Census Block level, ADI allows for quantification of SES on a scale of 1
to 100, where lower percentiles represent less deprivation (higher SES).
National ADI percentile was collected for each patient’s home address
using the 2018 Neighborhood Atlas (University of Wisconsin School of
Medicine and Public Health).
