First Street Foundation’s aggregated national, property-level, climate-adjusted data are now available on the AWS Data Exchange (ADX). The data are available in CSV format and are aggregated at the state, congressional district, county, zip code, and census tract level, incorporating risk changes due to climate change from 2022 to 2052.
