Viviendas asequibles en riesgo: amenazas de inundaciones costeras y el aumento del nivel del mar

Louisiana's affordable housing supply is the eighth most vulnerable in the United States to coastal flooding. Currently, 214 units are exposed, a number projected to rise to 685 by 2050, representing a 220% increase compared to 2000. The document highlights that affordable housing is particularly susceptible due to its age, poor quality, and lack of resilience features. Specific cities like Slidell, Luling, and Franklin are expected to see significant increases in exposed units by 2050.

• Louisiana currently has 214 affordable housing units exposed to coastal flooding risk, ranking it as the eighth highest number of such units in the United States.
• By 2050, it is projected that 685 affordable housing units in Louisiana will face at least annual coastal flooding threats, which is 0.6% of the state's affordable housing supply and a 220% increase from the year 2000.
• Nationwide, over 7,600 affordable housing units are currently exposed to at least one coastal flood risk event in a typical year, with this number potentially rising to over 24,500 units by 2050.
• Affordable housing is more vulnerable to flooding than other housing types because it is typically older, of lower quality, and lacks resilience features such as flood protection, backflow prevention valves, or off-grid energy.
• Specific Louisiana cities are projected to see substantial increases in exposed units by 2050; for example, Slidell is projected to see a 288% increase, Luling a 725% increase, and Franklin a 500% increase compared to 2000.
