Methodology & Citations

Citywide totals are a comparison frame for further investigation, not an operational risk score.

LL84 properties: 37,741
Reported GHG: 27.1M mtCO₂e

Flood-zone building counts are not population, probability, expected loss, or asset-level outage risk. Electricity coverage is limited to accounts in the source dataset; LL84 covers properties subject to reporting requirements.
