An ArcGIS Infographic That Maps Homeless Populations and COVID-19

Serving as head of data science at Distinguished Programs, Perry Beaumont helps guide the firm’s full range of risk mitigation initiatives. One area in which Perry Beaumont has a strong interest is the work of ArcGIS in employing advanced software capabilities for mapping COVID-19 and its societal implications.

An infographic recently created as a “Web AppBuilder for ArcGIS” demo highlights populations that are most at risk, including those without health insurance, the elderly, and the homeless. The source for the infographic is the ArcGIS Living Atlas of the World, which contains data from the Continuum of Care (CoC) Program. This reflects US Department of Housing and Urban Development demarcations.

The infographic contains tables, charts, and key indicators that provide specific insights about selected geographical areas. The first page of the infographic is populated by key demographic information, while the second page has underlying information. An example is San Francisco, which is shown to have a shelter population of 3,626 people, with this information further broken down in terms of age distribution and family groupings.

This provide planners with information about areas that are in need of additional monitoring and mobile testing clinics. The data also provides guidance on where outreach should be targeted and how many additional beds in shelters are needed to achieve “social distancing” targets.
