It is a <br /> combination of several measures gathered from U.S. Census data at the census tract level and is generally considered to be more <br /> reliable than any single indicator used by itself. The CDI combines three weighted factors: the percent of persons living below the <br /> federal poverty line, the percent of persons receiving public assistance, and the percent of families with minor children that are <br /> female-headed. <br /> CDI scores range from 0 to 10, where 10 indicates that the census tract is among the most disadvantaged in the country and 0 <br /> indicates that the tract is among the least disadvantaged. Specifically, 9 indicates that the tract is more disadvantaged than 90% of <br /> other tracts in the country; 8 is more disadvantaged than 80% of tracts: <br /> The 2010 CDI for Census Tract 503.02 that covers Gifford area is 10. <br /> N <br /> Community Development Indian River County 35 <br />
