Social Vulnerability scores in the District range from Below Average to Above Average. As a general pattern overall, Average and Below Average social vulnerability prevails throughout the District. One of the few exceptions to this pattern is Dissemination Area 117 (the La Have Islands and the lower La Have River area) which exhibits above average vulnerability when all vulnerability indicators are considered together. The result for this area should be of particular interest to the municipality in the context of examining social vulnerability to coastal climate change impacts. The maps for each indicator of social vulnerability, accompanied by a description of the indicator and the pattern for each indicator are provided in Appendix C. The maps suggest that the Above Average social vulnerability in District 117 derives from vulnerability of a higher proportion of seniors Profile by Dissemination Area Table 4 presents all indices calculated for social vulnerability for the District of Lunenburg. In this table, the axes are transposed in order to better illustrate the range of scores present in each dissemination area, rather than the range of scores for each indicator amongst the various dissemination areas. Table 4: Index of Social Vulnerability Results for the District of Lunenburg (Enlarge this table with Word View – Zoom Function for improved legibility). 30
Figure 4. Social Vulnerability in the District of Lunenburg by indicators averaged for all dissemination areas. Figure 4 visually presents social vulnerability by indicators averaged across all dissemination areas in the District. Extensions of the radar arms toward the outer perimeter indicate increasing vulnerability (Above Average, High and Very High) for those indicators. Contractions of the radar arms toward the centre of the diagram indicate decreasing vulnerability (Below Average, Low and Very Low) for those indicators. The overall pattern suggests Average or Below Average social vulnerability through most indicators in the District. ‘No Secondary Education’ is the one indicator that shows a Higher than Average prevalence which thus contributes to Higher than Average vulnerability based on that indicator. Others, however, have Lower than Average prevalence including ‘Visible Minorities’, ‘Children’, ‘Lone Parent Families’, ‘Low Income’. The radar charts for each dissemination area, independently, are presented in Appendix D. Here it is evident that this average pattern displayed in Figure 3 is not carried through for each dissemination area. The higher proportion of ‘Seniors’, in particular, as well as ‘Seniors living Alone’, in some dissemination areas is contributing to social vulnerability in those areas. 31
