This indicator report the heat and health index (HHI) score and ranking which shows how vulnerable an area at the Zip Code Tabulation Area is to the impacts of heat in comparison to the rest of the nation. The index ranges from 0 to 100 (0 to 1) with smaller values representing less risk to…
The FEMA National Risk Index provides a holistic view of community-level risk nationwide by combining multiple hazards with socioeconomic and built environment factors. It calculates a baseline relative risk measurement for each United States county and census tract for 18 natural hazard types as a composite score from the summation of all 18 hazard types…
This indicator reports the relative threshold heat index days (2021-23 three-year average) of the daily heat metrics as the 95th, 98th, and 99th percentile. The “heat index” is a single value that takes both temperature and humidity into account. The higher the heat index, the hotter the weather feels, since sweat does not readily evaporate…
This indicator reports the estimated population within estimated 100-year flood hazard areas per county. Source US Environmental Protection Agency, 2020. Source Description The Environmental Protection Agency or EPA is an agency of the US federal government with purpose of protecting human health and the environment. It ensures that environmental protection is an integral consideration in…
This indicator reports the absolute threshold heat index days (2021-23 three-year average) of the daily heat metrics as 95, 100, and 105 degrees Fahrenheit. The “heat index” is a single value that takes both temperature and humidity into account. The higher the heat index, the hotter the weather feels, since sweat does not readily evaporate…
This indicator reports the median estimated economic impacts from changes in all-cause mortality rates, across all age groups. These impacts are the central estimate for average annual damage during 2080-2099 under a business-as-usual scenario (RCP8.5). Impacts are changes relative to counterfactual “no additional climate change” trajectories. Source Climate Impact Lab, 2017. Source Description The Climate…
Dominant land cover indicates the way land in an area is utilized and excludes open water. Land cover can provide insights into the type of economy, topography, and natural resources in the area, and can be important for urban planning, natural resources management, emergency preparedness, and more. Dominant land cover type was calculated by summarizing…
This indicator reports the count of LUSTs (multiplied by a factor of 7.7) and the number of USTs within a 1,500-foot buffered block group. Areas with higher UST scores are placed higher in percentile (national ranking). The percentile could be interpreted as, for example, for a place at the 80th percentile nationwide, 20% (i.e., 100…
This indicator reports the count of RMP (potential chemical accident management plan) facilities within 10 km, each divided by distance in km. Areas with higher RMP Facility proximity scores are placed higher in percentile (national ranking). The percentile could be interpreted as, for example, for a place at the 80th percentile nationwide, 20% (i.e., 100…
This indicator reports the count of proposed and listed NPL sites (deleted sites excluded) within 10 km, each divided by distance in km. Areas with higher Superfund proximity scores are placed higher in percentile (national ranking). The percentile could be interpreted as, for example, for a place at the 80th percentile nationwide, 20% (i.e., 100…
