This dataset and map service provides information on the U.S. Housing and Urban Development's (HUD) low to moderate income areas. The term Low to Moderate Income, often referred to as low-mod, has a specific programmatic context within the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program. Over a 1, 2, or 3-year period, as selected by the grantee, not less than 70 percent of CDBG funds must be used for activities that benefit low- and moderate-income persons. HUD uses special tabulations of Census data to determine areas where at least 51% of households have incomes at or below 80% of the area median income (AMI). This dataset and map service contains the following layer.

Median household income is the middle value of the incomes earned in the prior year by households in an area. Income and earnings are inflation-adjusted for the last year of the 5-year period. The median value is used as opposed to the average so that both extremely high and extremely low prices do not distort the total amount of income earned by households in an area.

IntroductionThe “percentage of births attended by a skilled birth attendant" (SBA) is an indicator that has been adopted by several global monitoring frameworks, including the Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) agenda for regular monitoring as part of target 3.1 for reducing maternal mortality by 2030. However, accurate and consistent measurement is challenged by contextual differences between and within countries on the definition of SBA, including the education, training, competencies, and functions they are qualified to perform. This scoping review identifies and maps the health personnel considered SBA in low-to-middle-income-countries (LMIC).Methods and analysisA search was conducted inclusive to the years 2000 to 2015 in PubMed/MEDLINE, EMBASE, CINAHL Complete, Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, POPLINE and the World Health Organization Global Index Medicus. Original primary source research conducted in LMIC that evaluated the skilled health personnel providing interventions during labour and childbirth were considered for inclusion. All studies reported disaggregated data of SBA cadres and were disaggregated by country.ResultsThe search of electronic databases identified a total of 23,743 articles. Overall, 70 articles were included in the narrative synthesis. A total of 102 unique cadres names were identified from 36 LMIC countries. Of the cadres included, 16% represented doctors, 16% were nurses, and 15% were midwives. We found substantial heterogeneity between and within countries on the reported definition of SBA and the education, training, skills and competencies that they were able to perform.ConclusionThe uncertainty and diversity of reported qualifications and competency of SBA within and between countries requires attention in order to better ascertain strategic priorities for future health system planning, including training and education. These results can inform recommendations around improved coverage measurement and monitoring of SBA moving forward, allowing for more accurate, consistent, and timely data able to guide decisions and action around planning and implementation of maternal and newborn health programmes.

Objective: To support evidence-informed decision-making, we created an evidence gap map (EGM) to characterise the evidence base on the effectiveness of interventions in improving routine childhood immunisation outcomes in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). Methods: We developed an intervention-outcome matrix with 38 interventions and 43 outcomes. We searched academic databases and grey literature sources for relevant impact evaluations (IEs) and systematic reviews (SRs). Search results were screened on title/abstract. Those included in the title/abstract were retrieved for a full review. Studies meeting the eligibility criteria were included and data were extracted for each included study. All screening and data extraction was done by two independent reviewers. We analysed these data to identify trends in the geographic distribution of evidence, the concentration of evidence across intervention and outcome categories, and attention to vulnerable populations in the literature. Results: We identified 309 studies, comprising 226 completed IEs, 58 completed SRs, 24 ongoing IEs, and 1 ongoing SR. Evidence from IEs is heavily concentrated in a handful of countries in Sub- Saharan Africa and South Asia. Among interventions, the most frequently evaluated are those related to education and material incentives for caregivers or health workers. There are gaps in the study of non-material incentives and outreach to vulnerable populations. Among outcomes, those related to vaccine coverage and health are well covered. However, evidence on intermediate outcomes related to health system capacity or barriers faced by caregivers is much more limited. Conclusions: There is valuable evidence available to decision-makers for use in identifying and deploying effective strategies to increase routine immunisation in LMICs. However, additional research is needed to address gaps in the evidence base. Methods These data were manually extracted by trained reviewers from published research reports.

As sea levels rise, wetlands exposed to oceanic water can adapt to changing conditions through vertical development (i.e., soil surface elevation gains via biophysical feedbacks) and horizontal migration into upslope areas. Elevation-based models of wetland transformation from sea-level rise are often hampered from a variety of sources of uncertainty, including contemporary elevation and water levels and future water levels from sea-level rise. This data release includes geospatial data products that utilize Monte Carlo simulations to address these sources of uncertainty and highlight potential wetland transformation under various relative sea-level rise scenarios along Texas' middle and upper coast. This data release includes the current extent of coastal wetlands and decadal maps of coastal wetland transformation from 2030–2100 for three relative sea-level rise scenarios — Intermediate-low, Intermediate, and Intermediate-high — from an interagency sea-level rise report published in 2022 (Sweet and others, 2022). Datasets in this release include the following classes: 1) Upslope and upriver classes; 2) Irregularly oceanic-flooded wetlands (that is, wetlands that are flooded by oceanic water less frequently than daily); 3) Regularly oceanic-flooded wetlands (that is, wetlands that are flooded by oceanic water daily and generally fall in the upper two-thirds of this wetland zone based on elevation); 4) Wetlands converting to open water (that is, wetlands that are flooded by oceanic water daily [that is, below the mean high water datum and above the mean lower low water datum] and generally fall in the lower third of this wetland zone based on elevation); 5) Wetlands converted to open water (that is, former wetlands that were flooded by oceanic water daily [that is, below the mean high water datum and above the mean lower low water datum] and generally fall in the lower third of this wetland zone based on elevation); 6) Low-lying, developed; 7) Low-lying, leveed; and 8) Low-lying, developed and leveed. Incorporating accretion rates into wetland transformation models can be complex because accretion can vary over space and time. Instead, these products utilize information from a synthesis on decadal sea-level rise rate thresholds thought to lead to the potential initiation of coastal wetland drowning, specifically 4 mm/year, 7 mm/year, and 10 mm/year (Osland and others, 2024). For this approach, we determined the relative sea-level rise rate by decade for watersheds within the study area and the decade that these rates exceeded one of these thresholds (that is, 4 mm/year, 7 mm/year, and 10 mm/year) marked the initiation of coastal wetland drowning. In other words, the 4 mm/year threshold indicates that wetland drowning would be initiated when the decadal sea-level rise rate exceeds 4 mm/year. Because wetlands will be able to adapt, to a degree, to sea-level rise through vertical movement, we left areas in that fell within “Converting to open water” class until 50 years after the threshold was surpassed. For example, if the decade the 4 mm/year threshold was 2020, then no wetlands would be moved to the “Converted to open water” class until 2070. At that point, areas in the “Converted to open water” class would include areas that were in the “Converting to open water” class in the current wetland map. Similarly, for this threshold, areas in the “Converted to open water” class would be those that were “Converting to open water” class on and before 2030 (that is, 2030 and the current wetland map). For more information on the decades for when watershed-level drowning thresholds were passed, see the shapefile titled “Wetland_Drown_Years.shp.” Natural resource managers can utilize this information to explore potential scenarios related to optimism on the ability of current wetlands to adapt to sea-level rise via in situ vertical adjustment (for example, results for the 4 mm/year thresholds are less optimistic than the results for the 10 mm/year thresholds). For our study area, there was a high level of redundancy when the watershed-level drowning thresholds were passed, especially between maps for 4 mm/yr and 7 mm/yr. If users are interested in seeing where/when redundancy may occur, see the shapefile titled “Wetland_Drown_Years.shp.”
