6.5 million Americans face landslide risks — a new database shows where they live

William Poor — Wed, 29 Jul 2026 16:12:29 +0000

��ӰԺ researchers created the Landslide Exposure Database, the first resource that maps per-building landslide vulnerability across the United States. The study estimates that roughly 6.5 million U.S. residents are highly vulnerable to landslides, and overturns the conventional picture of landslide risk in the U.S. by identifying high concentrations of exposure in Appalachia as well as a surprising urban-rural divide.
