Environmental Vulnerability: City & Town of Newburgh, NY

environmental vulnerability

The following maps display multiple variables of environmental vulnerability: impervious surface coverage, tree cover, heat islands, and flood hazard zones. The point of comparison is between those communities defined by NYSERDA to be disadvantaged, and those not. The graphs accompany the maps, displaying a sharp contrast between environmental vulnerability in both types of communities, and creating a link between the factors that NYSERDA considers for defining disadvantaged communities - factors of race, class, and otherwise - and exposure to environmental vulnerability.
