On someone’s radar

More people are recognizing the risk of the changing climate around them. A recent survey from the Insurance Information Institute, an industry association, found that 32% of homeowners said they have been affected by weather events in the past five years, and nearly 60% expect to be affected in the next 10 years.

When choosing where to live, however, there are many factors to consider. “Just 10 years ago, climate wasn’t even on people’s radar,” says Jesse Keenan, associate professor of real estate and urban planning at Tulane University. “It is now, but it doesn’t necessarily mean it’s shaping major life decisions.”
