This package allows users to easily access the MI-SUVI data sets. The user can import data sets with full metrics, percentiles, Z-scores, or rankings. Data is available at both the County and Zip Code Tabulation Area (ZCTA) levels.
“The MI-SUVI was created to consider the diverse factors that influence a community’s vulnerability related to substance use. The MI-SUVI is a single, standardized score that considers multiple factors that influence a community’s vulnerability related to substance use, including indicators related to substance use burden, resources, and social vulnerability.” (MDHHS, 2024)
