People are the most important part of cities. However, digital twins tend to focus on buildings and infrastructure. Dr. Rosenheim will introduce a project that provides a solution that connects people to buildings for digital twins. The housing unit inventory method transforms aggregated population data into disaggregated housing unit data that includes occupied and vacant housing unit characteristics. Detailed household characteristics include size, race, ethnicity, income, group quarters type, vacancy type and census block. The python code for the project is publicly available for users to create their own housing unit inventories for any county in the United States. Dr. Rosenheim will also introduce an example community using the Interdependent Networked Community Resilience Modeling Environment (IN-CORE).
