Virginia Viviendas asequiblesen riesgo: amenazas de inundacionescosterasyel aumento del nivel del mar

The document reports that Virginia's affordable housing supply is the fourth most vulnerable in the United States to future coastal flooding. By 2050, 1,473 affordable housing units in Virginia are projected to be at risk, representing a 273% increase from current levels. The cities of Norfolk and Portsmouth are highlighted as particularly vulnerable, with projected increases in exposed units of 523% and 610% respectively.

• Virginia's affordable housing provision is ranked as the fourth most vulnerable in the United States regarding units at risk from future coastal flooding.
• By 2050, 1,473 affordable housing units in Virginia are projected to be at risk of coastal flooding, which is 0.8% of the state's affordable housing inventory and a 273% increase over current risk levels.
• Currently, Virginia has 395 affordable housing units (0.2% of its inventory) threatened by coastal flooding, the fifth highest number in the country.
• Specific city projections for 2050 show Norfolk's at-risk units increasing by 523% to 710 units, and Portsmouth's increasing by 610% to 220 units.
• Affordable housing is more susceptible to flooding because it is typically older, of lower quality, and lacks resilience features such as flood protection or backflow prevention valves.
