During a time of increased concern about income inequality and climate change risk, natural disaster exposure risk could become another cause of rising quality of life inequality between the rich and the poor. Our study suggests that areas that do not adapt to natural disaster risk will become poorer over time, as well-to-do residents move away

Site has two interactive maps which shows each county in the U.S. and the disasters that have struck those counties. The rich and more well-to do move away and industries relocate to safer areas when misfortune strikes (Hurricanes at the top) , but the poor stay rooted and the counties steadily lose their tax base.
