The Revolving Door of Risk
Nationwide, flood risks are encouraging local authorities to implement a federal policy known as managed retreat. The program offers homeowners a fair market price to voluntarily relinquish their properties for demolition and move elsewhere, thereby subsidizing residential relocation as a means of climate adaptation. Despite widespread implementation, we know little about how people move or how many move from places where the program intervenes. …
Toxic Fear
Tropical storms and flooding can compromise industrial infrastructures and other land-based hazards in ways that contaminate nearby communities. This study uses novel data from the Houston Area Survey to investigate racial and ethnic disparities in reports of such contamination in metropolitan Houston during Hurricane Harvey and its influence on residents’ long-term worries about future flooding. Results indicate that among those negatively impac…
Divergent Residential Pathways from Flood-Prone Areas
Flood risks are rising across the United States, putting the economic and social values of growing numbers of homes at risk. In response, the federal government is funding the purchase and demolition of housing in areas of greatest jeopardy, tacitly promoting residential resettlement as a strategy of climate adaptation, especially in cities. Despite these developments little is known about where people move when they engage in such resettlement o…
Racial Inequities in the Federal Buyout of Flood-Prone Homes
One way the U.S. government is responding to the challenges of climate change is by funding the purchase of tens of thousands of flood-prone homes in more than 500 cities and towns across the country. This study provides a nationwide analysis of that program, extending beyond cost-benefit calculations to investigate racial inequities at different scales of local implementation, from county-level adoption, through neighborhood-level participation,…
