active address rate)

Divided by 43 months. (the longer the
vacancy the higher the average
score)
R-square: 0.340
N: 287,190
To adjust for this greater recovery
challenge, the results of the analysis
above are used in the following model
for 2008:
Vacancy Risk Score =
0.010695 (Constant)
+ 0.347154 Percent of homes in
Census Tract with serious damage
+ 0.195913 Home with major-high or
severe damage
The risk score is then aggregated for
each disaster and divided by the total
number of housing units with more than
very minor damage. That is, we
determine a per-damaged home
recovery challenge risk score. Such a
risk factor can be a useful tool for
adjusting grants so that states with a
higher risk for long-term recovery
challenges get a somewhat higher grant
because of this risk.

agencies concerning the proposed
collection of information to: (1) Evaluate
whether the proposed collection of
information is necessary for the proper
performance of the functions of the
agency, including whether the
information will have practical utility;
(2) Evaluate the accuracy of the agency’s
estimate of the burden of the proposed
collection of information; (3) Enhance
the quality, utility, and clarity of the
information to be collected; and (4)
Minimize the burden of the collection of
information on those who are to
respond; including through the use of
appropriate automated collection
techniques or other forms of information
technology, e.g., permitting electronic
submission of responses.
