As sea levels rise and storms intensify, New Jersey faces mounting risks to its people, homes, communities, and economy. Nearly 1.3 million New Jerseyans live in high flood risk areas; half of those people are lower income residents who may lack the resources to relocate out of harm’s way. By 2050, nearly 1 in 6 land parcels statewide will be exposed to high flood risk, threatening $435.9 billion in (today’s) property value and $5.9 billion in annual property tax revenue, according to a new analysis by Rebuild by Design. (A parcel is a privately or publicly owned piece of land, recorded in tax records.)
