Many flood-prone buildings are not currently under the purview of FEMA. These buildings are more likely to be deficient in physical condition, poorly constructed, and underinsured - meaning that their residents can face v high costs due to flooding. Read more Yilei Yu's first paper!

New paper t.co/q5YuiEZGLt led by @arizonastateuni.bsky.social PhD student Yilei Yu! 56% of flood-prone buildings in Houston are located outside of FEMA’s 100-year flood zones. These “overlooked” zones are disproportionately home to buildings that are lower quality and often uninsured.

This study's title sounds like "US cities are bad because they foster inequality." But they find that the problem began in the mid-20th century, which happens to be when cities started planning for cars. So the problem isn't cities. The problem is cars. academic.oup.com/pnasnexus/ar...

Big cities once lifted generations out of poverty. Now, they entrench it. New research by @dyligent.bsky.social, @tkemeny.bsky.social et al. shows that since the mid-20th century, upward mobility has shifted to smaller towns. #Cities must reconnect growth with opportunity. doi.org/10.1093/pnas...

Combining remote sensing and administrative data, researchers reveal that since the mid-20th century, growing cities have ceased to be centers of upward social and economic mobility. In PNAS Nexus: academic.oup.com/pnasnexus/ar...

Early-life exposures in regions & communities produce disparities & influence intergenerational mobility, argues @dyligent.bsky.social. In his CASBS fellows seminar, he outlined an ambitious project that synthesizes knowledge & data to identify why, where & (historically) when places shape outcomes

Wealth in the U.S. is increasing concentrated in the hands of the few. My work with @dyligent.bsky.social & @joelsuss.bsky.social shows *where* the wealth is, which cities are the most unequal and how trends have evolved. My new piece for @theconversation.com brings you up to speed. bit.ly/40gqvoZ
