1. After typing East New York as neighborhood name into box and then selecting “get data”, we can see that the heat vulnerability index is 5 which thereby implies that the neighborhoods are lying in the highest risk for dying during and immediately following the extreme form of heat. 2.

This thereby implies a much higher risk of death occurrence during heat waves ("What neighborhoods are vulnerable to heat?", 2022).
