Climate-Adjusted Hazard Data · Model Version 1.0
Louisiana's Gulf Coast position and low-lying coastal geography create extreme hurricane and storm surge exposure. IBTrACS data shows Louisiana has the second-highest frequency of major hurricane landfalls among US states. The state's coastal wetland loss of approximately 2,000 square miles since the 1930s (USGS) has reduced the natural storm surge buffer.
CivilSense computes a Climate-Adjusted Hazard Score (0–10) for hurricane hazard at any US address. The score is composed of weighted sub-components derived from federal data sources and peer-reviewed research. All score components are transparent and returned in API responses.
These are hazard scores — physical intensity likelihood only. They do not include property exposure or vulnerability data. We never call a hazard score a risk score. See the full methodology for scoring details.
