According to new data released by the U.S. Census Bureau, about 1 in 4 Americans is socially vulnerable and has low resilience to extreme heat.
There are a number of factors causing record heat. While scientists consider climate change due to rising greenhouse gases as the primary reason, a strengthening El Nino cycle is also a likely contributor. The data shows that 23.8% of Americans have three or more risk factors that make them socially vulnerable to extreme heat. The Census Bureau said 31.7% of Americans have no risk factors that make them vulnerable.
The new data was developed with the help of Arizona State University's Knowledge Exchange for Resilience. Researchers used the 2019 American Community Survey's restricted microdata and the Population Estimates Program to develop the data.
