This indicator shows the percent of developed land.
 
Developed land is the combination of developed-open space, developed-low intensity, developed-medium intensity, and developed-high intensity.

Why is this important?

Understanding community characteristics is vital for public health planning, epidemiological studies, and  public health emergency preparedness. This indicator is essential to identify a community's most likely hazards, most vulnerable populations, available resources, and ability to respond. Information about the local infrastructure, vulnerabilities, and resources enable public health professionals to quickly establish priorities and take appropriate actions during an emergency or disaster response.
