10 US cities that can go under water by 2050 year
Over the next 30 years, more than 386 000 homes in coastal areas of the United States may end up in water or a regular flood zone due to climate change. This is stated in a recent study conducted by the Zillow real estate website and Climate Central, a non-profit weather news website.
About 40 percent of the US population can sense this weather change to some extent. According to Zillow, the total value of these homes is $ 210 billion in 2018 a year.
In 10, the main cities where there is a high risk of flooding, losses could amount to more than $ 34 billion. Over time, the situation will look even more dismal. By 2100, about 2,5 million homes around the country, worth about $ 1,3 trillion, could be at risk if the scientific data and computer models obtained are correct.
Here are the 10 cities that are projected to be hit the hardest by 2050, as well as the number of local housing affected by the flood, and its cost.
