Weather has become a major consideration for those in the United States when deciding where to settle down.
According to a Redfin report, after seeing the damage caused by the one-two punch of Hurricanes Helene and Milton earlier this fall nearly, a third of residents between ages 18 to 34 and about 15% of those aged 35 and older said they are reconsidering where they may move in the future.
As of November 1, the NOAA reports there have been 24 confirmed climate-related disasters in 2024, including 17 severe storm events, 4 tropical cyclones, 1 wildfire and 2 winter storms. With a month to go in this year, this already surpasses the average of 20.4 events a year recorded from 2019 to 2023, though it is still short of the 28 confirmed billion-dollar events in 2023, which set a new record.
According to a recent report from CoreLogic, there are around 33,000 households in the U.S. that are up against a triple-threat of risk; meaning they are at a year-round extreme risk from three different natural disasters.
In their study, they identified single-family homes in the U.S. that were exposed to a combination of the following perils: hurricane wind, wildfire, inland flood, severe convective storms and severe winter storms. They found homes across 20 metropolitan areas with an extreme level of risk for three of these perils.
In the slideshow above, we’ll look at the ten cities CoreLogic found to have the most triple-risk homes.
