Great work, @PatrickPDB  +Too Good To Be True (TGTBT) - Data for Good | Climate Change + Vulnerable Populations!

Your Team Profile is complete and looks great.  Thank you for putting the correct tag – “ Student Track | Option 1 (Data for Good | Climate Change + Vulnerable Populations)” so it’ll be easier to find and judge, when it’s time. 

If you’re excited to learn more about the Hack before September 16^th – including a sneak-peak of the use case – please see my post here: https://communities.sas.com/t5/SAS-Hacker-s-Hub/SAS-Hackathon-2024-Student-Track-Details/ba-p/941054

Good luck!

Very nice work, @TGTBT!  I love how critically you thought about the data and how you pulled everything together in your presentation.  Moreover, it's great to see that you create a new index - the Worrisome Score - as a way to combine several measures into a single metric.

I noted that Wake County was number 50 on the list.  Whoa.  I live in Wake County... and it's also the location of SAS HQ.  So, I was a bit surprised to see us on the list... given that we're not near the coast in a traditional "hotspot" for weather events.  In investigating your Worrisome Score a bit more, I'm wondering if the population measure isn't driving things a bit too much.  In fact, the top 50 counties are all large - and I didn't see any traditional rural/isolated counties in the list.  So, for robustness, I'd love to see your results if you (1) normalized all the subcomponents to range between 0 and 1 (you can do that with a standardized Z-Score) and then (2) aggregate the variables, as specified in your current approach.

Wake County concerns aside, great job!!!
