AI Summary

New research from Portland State University finds that neighborhoods in Portland most exposed to overlapping hazards—landslides, wildfires, flooding and extreme heat—are also the ones historically underinvested, with lower median incomes, less education and greater racial diversity. The study, led by doctoral student Justin Huber and geography professor Heejun Chang, mapped hazard likelihood across the city and compared it to socioeconomic factors such as income, education, tree cover, wetlands and access to critical services.
