Description
Lingke Jiang, Robbie M Parks, Yoshira Ornelas Van Horne and Xiao Wu study, in 2026, how social vulnerability in United States communities evolves for years after tropical cyclones. Most research stops days or months after a storm. Long-term shifts in who lives in exposed places matter for recovery and fairness.
Using a synthetic control method, the team covered all United States cyclones from 2005 to 2018. Vulnerability rose in the year after a storm. It stayed elevated for at least five years. By twelve years, though, it fell slightly below what would be expected without a storm. That late reversal may reflect gentrification, where poorer residents are displaced and replaced by wealthier newcomers.
