Edward Hannan and colleagues found that a lack of standardization of input variables to the Area Deprivation Index (ADI) available from the Neighborhood Atlas overweights the index for median home value and thus potentially further disadvantages already disadvantaged communities. We recommend that a revised ADI be created that addresses the error, and we offer five steps to avoid future errors in the creation of area deprivation measures.
爱德华·汉南（Edward Hannan）及其同事发现，由于 Neighborhood Atlas 提供的区域贫困指数（ADI）输入变量缺乏标准化，导致指数对住宅中位数价值的权重过高，从而可能进一步使原本处于不利地位的社区处于不利地位。我们建议创建一个经过修正的 ADI 来纠正这一错误，并提出了避免未来在创建区域贫困指标时出现错误的五个步骤。
