The map to the right shows which areas (at a county-level) have their respective housing markets most at risk to a combination of natural disasters and poverty. The risk index utilized incorporates and combines data regarding the poverty rate and number of natural disasters that have occurred in each U.S. county. The map highlights some major hotspots for housing market risk; Lousiana and northern Florida are the most evident ones, mainly due to the prevalence of hurricanes and flooding. Other notable but lesser hotspots include southern Florida, North and South Carolina, and Missisippi.
