This data set depicts the distribution of marginal areas by administrative zones in Santiago, Cape Verde, according to a Marginality Index methodology. The Marginality Index measures the incidence of food insecurity and poverty (FIP) among the households living in each area. The index is created as a function of the most relevant variables of the year 2000 Demographic Census, using the principal components methodology. Areas with an index score above a selected threshold level have been classified as vulnerable. The boundaries of administrative zones were digitized from scanned and rectified topographic maps (Carta Militar de Portugal, Ilha de Santiago 1969).
