New Jersey's affordable housing inventory is identified as the most vulnerable in the United States regarding the quantity of units at risk from future coastal flooding. By 2050, 6,825 units (3.7% of the state's affordable housing inventory) are projected to be at risk, representing a 316% increase from the year 2000. Five New Jersey cities—Atlantic City, Hoboken, Camden, Penns Grove, and Salem—rank among the top 20 cities nationwide for affordable housing units at risk in 2050. The report notes that affordable housing is particularly susceptible because it is often older, of lower quality, and lacks resilience features like flood protection or backflow prevention valves.
