  • Assessing Individual Level Power Outage Vulnerability through Synthetic Populations

    Open AccessAlexandra Kahl, Joseph V Tuccillo et al.ARTICLEInternational Journal of Disaster…2026

    Extreme weather power outages disproportionately impact vulnerable populations, but existing data does not fully capture how individual demographics contribute to infrastructure vulnerability. This study addresses this gap by developing a comprehensive power outage vulnerability dataset for Houston, Texas, integrating synthetic population modeling with census tract-level outage likelihood focusing on Winter Storm Uri. Using Public Use Microdata f…

  • LandScan HD

    Open AccessJoseph V Tuccillo, Jessica Moehl et al.ARTICLEPopulation and Environment2025References: 45

    Unwarned population distributions accounting for routine human activities are needed to address many global human security challenges, including disasters, conflict, and infrastructure demand. LandScan High Definition (LSHD) supports this need through gridded ambient population estimates that measure average human presence between daytime and nighttime at a high spatial resolution of 3 arcseconds (approximately 90 m). Although LSHD has traditiona…

  • Spatial analysis of social capital and community heterogeneity at the United States county level

    Open AccessAlina Peluso, Joseph V Tuccillo et al.ARTICLEApplied Geography2024

    Social capital, defined as the resources or benefits received through one's connections with others, contributes to economic efficiency, growth of communities, and population health. In 2006, Rupasingha et al. [1] developed a high-quality, US county-level social capital index based on individuals' participation in associational activities, trust, and civic engagement which is available for years 1990, 1997, 2005, 2009, and 2014. Since their intro…

  • UrbanPop

    Open AccessJoseph V Tuccillo, Robert Stewart et al.ARTICLEApplied Geography2023

    Ensuring the social equity of planning measures in social systems requires an understanding of human dynamics, particularly how individual relationships, activities, and interactions intersect with individual needs. Spatial microsimulation models (SMSMs) support planning for human security goals by representing human dynamics through realistic, georeferenced synthetic populations, that a) provide a complete representation of social systems while …

  • A Method for Measuring Coupled Individual and Social Vulnerability to Environmental Hazards

    Open AccessJoseph V Tuccillo, Seth E SpielmanARTICLEAnnals of the American…2022Cited by: 4References: 69

    Although models of social vulnerability to environmental hazards are commonly developed to support policy interventions in emergencies and disasters, their utility is hindered by a lack of contextual information on individuals exposed to and affected by hazards. We develop a novel approach to model social vulnerability that couples individuals and their varying forms of protective capacity with the social fabric of the communities in which they r…

  • Zoning and Land Use

    Abigail M York, Abigail York et al.ARTICLEJournal of Urban Affairs2014Cited by: 3References: 7

    Little attention has been paid to the role of early land use institutions in development patterns, the creation of disamenity zones of environmental injustice, and the promotion of space-consuming suburban development. This study uses historic Sanborn Fire Insurance maps and spatial analytic techniques to expose zoning's tendency to spread disamenities and disperse incompatible land uses in early Phoenix. While on paper Euclidean zoning's stratif…

  • Residential development during the Great Recession

    Katie Kane, Abigail M York et al.ARTICLEUrban Geography2014Cited by: 6References: 3

    Where people choose to live and the type of city their decisions create has formed the basis of decades of scholarly endeavor. While the typical notion of a tradeoff between access and space remains important, residential choice is more than ever shaped by the dynamics of sprawl, polycentricity, land-use institutions (zoning), and the composition of the immediately surrounding area. We analyze these new dynamics with a logistic regression model o…
