Wildfires and Wealth

Dublin Core

Title

Subject

wildfire

Description

California has long faced the devastating impact of wildfires, with increasing frequency and intensity over the past few decades. This analysis explores the intersection of wildfire impact and socioeconomic conditions, focusing on the period from 1984 to 2022. By examining historical fire perimeter data, median household income by county, and the relationship between income levels and wildfire damage, I aim to uncover trends that may indicate how wealth and vulnerability to wildfires intersect across the state.
