Climate Central Ranks US Cities Most Vulnerable to Coastal Floods
Climate Central, a nonprofit news organization that analyzes and reports on climate science, has ranked the U.S. cities most vulnerable to major coastal floods.
The study looked at all U.S. cities with populations above 20,000, and used three metrics: population within the 100-year FEMA floodplain, population within that floodplain combined with sea level rise projections for 2050 and the total high social vulnerability population in the same locations as the second metric.
