The U.S. Census Bureau today released the 2023 Community Resilience Estimates (CRE), which highlight socially vulnerable areas in the United States.
Along with a new CRE interactive tool, this release includes seven ranking tables per geographic level, highlighting the nation’s most socially vulnerable counties (top 25) and census tracts (top 100) in the following context:
- Winter weather risk areas (i.e., snow, sleet and freezing rain).
- Flooding risk areas (i.e., coastal flooding and riverine flooding).
- Hurricane risk areas.
- Strong wind risk areas (i.e., damaging winds exceeding 58 mph).
- Wildfire risk areas.
- Earthquake risk areas (new for 2023 CRE).
Community resilience is the capacity of individuals and households within a community to absorb the external stresses of a disaster.
