Detailed Description

A comparison of screenshots of the CDC Heat and Health Index in the Los Angeles area between the famous Beverly Hills zip code 90210 and nearby 90018 shows how risk factors can vary within 10 or 15 miles, even though both zones have a strong historical experience with heat and a considerable amount of developed environment. Data from the National Land Cover Database (NCLD), produced through the USGS, helps inform the index.
