Beyond “care deserts”
The formal care economy, including paid labor in health care, education, and daily living support, is essential to individual well-being and national productivity. Yet access to these services remains geographically unequal across the United States. Existing approaches commonly measure either within-area inequality (e.g., Gini coefficient) or regional specialization/adequacy (e.g., location quotient (LQ)), but rarely integrate both dimensions in …
Infrastructure failures and aging populations
Climate change is intensifying extreme weather events and power outages, posing life-threatening risks to older adults who depend on electricity for medical devices, temperature regulation, and daily care. No nationwide study has systematically examined where power-outage risks overlap with the vulnerabilities of older adults. This study quantifies spatial patterns of power outage exposure among older adults across the United States (U.S.) from 2…
Disparities of compound exposure of particulate matter (PM2.5) and heat index using citywide monitoring networks
Hazardous heat exposure among incarcerated people in the United States
Climate change is predicted to increase the frequency of potentially hazardous heat conditions across the United States, putting the incarcerated population of 2 million at risk for heat-related health conditions. We evaluate the exposure to potentially hazardous heat for 4,078 continental US carceral facilities during 1982-2020. Results show that the number of hot days per year increased during 1982-2020 for 1,739 carceral facilities, primarily …
Spatial disparities in air conditioning ownership in Florida, United States
This study emphasizes the critical role of air conditioning (AC) in preventing heat-related illnesses such as heat exhaustion and heatstroke. The challenge of limited geographic coverage and outdated AC availability data hampers effective heat risk mapping and prevention efforts. We identified areas with significant AC needs and examined factors related to AC ownership in Florida, U.S. Local Indicators of Spatial Association results displayed dis…
