The map tool can be used to access region-specific, subsetted downloads.
-
Using the map or search bar, navigate to region of interest.
-
Scroll to the
Risk in the regionsection in the sidebar. -
Select your region of interest (continental U.S., state, county, census tract, or census block) and view trends inline.
-
For subsetted, building-level data (schema below), click
CSV ↓orGeoJSON ↓to download the applicable file for the selected region.If you are instead interested in summary statistics for the region (e.g., to reproduce the histogram), you may click
CSV ↓orGeoJSON ↓to download those files (also available in the Regional statistics downloads section above).
