Nueva Jersey Viviendas asequibles en riesgo: amenazas de inundaciones costeras y el aumento del nivel del mar
Summary
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.
Key insights
- New Jersey has the highest number of affordable housing units in the United States currently exposed to a coastal flooding risk event in a typical year, totaling 1,640 units, which is approximately 1% of the state's inventory.
- By 2050, the number of affordable housing units at risk of coastal flooding in New Jersey is projected to reach 6,825, or 3.7% of the state's inventory, marking a 316% increase over the number of units at risk in 2000.
- Five New Jersey cities are ranked in the top 20 nationally for affordable housing units at risk by 2050: Atlantic City (2nd), Hoboken (4th), Camden (7th), Penns Grove (16th), and Salem (20th). In Atlantic City and Camden, at least one-third of affordable housing units could experience coastal flooding events at least four times per year by 2050.
