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. When scrolled down to factors that will be going to affect the heat vulnerability in our neighborhood, we can see that the temperature during daytime is very high lying at around 100.7 degree Fahrenheit and this is quite different from the normal air temperature which prevails all around. When considered the green space, all over was found to be less grass or covered with shrubs. This thereby implies a much higher risk of death occurrence during heat waves ("What neighborhoods are vulnerable to heat?", 2022).
