Summary
The document highlights that New York City has the highest number of affordable housing units at risk of coastal flooding in the United States. By 2050, the number of units at risk in New York City is projected to increase by 248% to 4,774 units. New York State as a whole is the second most vulnerable state in the nation, with 5,293 units projected to be at risk by 2050, representing a 236% increase from current levels.
Key insights
- New York City currently has 1,373 affordable housing units threatened by coastal flooding, which is the highest number of any city in the United States, although this represents approximately 1% of the city's affordable housing supply.
- By 2050, the number of affordable housing units at risk per year in New York City is expected to reach 4,774, marking a 248% increase.
- New York State is the second most vulnerable state in the country regarding units at risk from future coastal flooding; currently, 1,574 units (about 1% of the state's inventory) are threatened.
- Projections for 2050 indicate that 5,293 affordable housing units in New York State will be at risk of coastal flooding, which is 1.1% of the state's supply and a 236% increase over current risk levels.
- Affordable housing is more susceptible to flooding because it is typically older, of lower quality, and lacks resilience features such as flood protection, backflow prevention valves, or off-grid energy.
