The balanced FCA model and the SAA indexTo conduct our study, we used the balanced FCA (bFCA) model developed previously22 and used in other studies20,61,62. Conceptually, an FCA model computes the ratio of supply to demand within a catchment area centered at each supplier’s location, and then ‘floats’ these catchment areas over population centers to determine the allocation of the available resources to each of the demand sites. Catchment areas are delimited by specifying a maximum one-way travel time between the supplier’s location and the demand site. The bFCA model has an important advantage over the other types of FCA…
