   ## Socioeconomic Vulnerability
     Analyzing [Social Vulnerability Index (SVI)](https://www.atsdr.cdc.gov/placeandhealth/svi/data_documentation_download.html) data from the CDC between 2000 and 2022 shows a concerning demographic shift: the younger generation, including those as young as 17, is increasingly moving out of the region, leaving behind an aging population, particularly those aged 65 and above. A linear trend is observed, with color coding representing the slope of this shift. This trend exacerbates the region's vulnerabilities, as the older population becomes more isolated and dependent.

-  ## Climate Extremes
-      The region is now facing a significant new challenge - climate change. MERRA-2 [Climate Indices](https://disc.gsfc.nasa.gov/datasets?page=1&keywords=MERRA-2) from 1980 to 2023 monthly product reveals significant shifts in temperature extremes. The region is witnessing a marked increase in warm days (TX90P) and warm nights (TN90P), alongside a decrease in cool days (TX10P) and cool nights (TN10P). TX90P and TN90P represent the percentage of days when the maximum and minimum temperatures, respectively, exceed the 90th percentile of the baseline period. Conversely, TX10P and TN10P indicate the percentage of days when the maximum and minimum temperatures fall below the 10th percentile. These changes pose particular risks for the area's agricultural workforce and older residents, highlighting the growing impact of climate change on the region.

+    The region is now facing a significant new challenge - climate change. MERRA-2 Climate Indices from 1980 to 2023 reveals significant shifts in temperature extremes. The region is witnessing a marked increase in warm days (TX90P, % of days), warm nights (TN90P, % of days), heatwave frequency (HWF, days) alongside a decrease in cool days (TX10P, % of days), cool nights (TN10P, % of days), 1-day precipitation amount (RX1Day, mm) and 5-day precipitation amount (RX5Day, mm).

-      Agriculture remains the backbone of the Black Belt's economy, with many older adults working in the fields. This reliance on an aging workforce is concerning, particularly as the physical demands of farming intensify with rising temperatures. Analyzing USDA's  (National Agricultural Statistics Service)(https://www.nass.usda.gov/) data for Sumter County, the number of farm operators aged 55 and above is increasing, reflecting a broader national trend where the average age of U.S. farm producers has risen to 58.1 years by 2022.
