CSDE External Affiliate and Trainee Alum Amy Spring (Georgia State University) recently published an article titled “Internal migration following local environmental disasters: the intersection of race, socioeconomic status, and local family ties” in Population and Environment. Spring integrated longitudinal household and family network data from the Panel Study of Income Dynamics with county-level disaster data from the Spatial Hazards Events and Losses Database for the United States. The findings reveal that regardless of socioeconomic status, Black households are less likely to out-migrate from disaster areas than White households, and that group differences in local family ties explain much of this racial disparity. These results highlight the importance of considering both economic resources and social embeddedness in designing equitable disaster recovery and climate resettlement policies.
