Appendix A: Ohio Children’s Opportunity Index (OCOI) Constituent Measures Descriptions
The Ohio Colleges of Medicine Government Resource Center (GRC)
2020.10.12
1 Introduction
This document describes each of the individual constituent measures that constitute each of the domains of the Ohio Children’s Opportunity Index (OCOI). The following section describes the data you will find in this appendix.
2 Helpful information for interpreting this document
The data section of this appendix includes four different tabs of information, which are explained in the following subsections, for each domain. An additional tab (“all domains”) is included to bring all measures together to examine between-domain correlations and to consolidate descriptions, time-period availability, and source into one single table.
2.1 Univariate description
The univariate analyses consist of a table with one row per constituent measure. Each row contains
- the variable name written as x_y where x is a short name for the domain (e.g., “fs_” represents family stability) and y is the variable name
- an English description of the variable
- a quantitative summary of the distribution
- a count of the number of distinct values (very small values could be problematic)
- a histogram of the distribution
- a count (and percentage) of tracts with a missing value
Note: variables with the "_flip" suffix were reversed so that higher values on all measures are indicative of more deprivation (less opportunity) with respect to the conceptual meaning of the measure.
2.2 Correlation heatmap
The heatmap is just like a correlation matrix, except the sign of the correlation is represented by a color (blue or red) and the magnitude of the correlation is represented by the saturation of the color instead of a number. Each colored box in the heatmap represents the correlation between the row and column variables it connects in the grid Increasingly saturated (dark) blues represent increasingly negative correlations while increasingly saturated reds represent more positive correlations. A zero correlation is indicated by pure white. Measures that hang together are connected by moderate to dark red colors. Measures that do not hang together or are inverses of one another are white or blue, respectively.
The dendrogram around the heatmap represents the results of a hierarchical clustering algorithm, which attempts to group variables according to their similarity, which equates to grouping of positively correlated variables.
2.3 Choropleth maps
Every measure within each domain is plotted as a choropleth of Ohio to visualize the geographic distribution of the measure. The colors range from a navy blue—indicating a low value for the variable in a tract—to a bright yellow—indicating a relatively high value in a tract. All variables are defined such that high values imply more deprivation with respect to the variable in question (bright areas are low-opportunity areas).
- **: very high deprivation
- **: high deprivation
- **: moderate deprivation
- **: low deprivation
The value associated with areas shaded in bright red is missing or unknown.
The choropleths are visually enhanced by Winsorizing variables before they are plotted. Winsorizing sets extreme values > 97.5th percentile to the value of the 97.5th percentile, or those < the 2.5th percentile to the value of the 2.5th percentile. This technique supports visualization by minimizing the degree to which large outliers define the scale of the variable so much that the plot appears to have one bright tract while the rest apear to have uniformly low values (dark).
2.4 Time period availability of measures
The most current version of the OCOI contans 53 measures. However, not all are available for the prior time period. A table is presented for each domain to indicate which measures are available at which time periods. The indicators are
- green = already incorporated
- orange = pending (seeking data, or coding measures)
- red = not available
The table also includes a brief description of the source of each constituent measure.
