Jacksonville’s historic port and industrial areas were disproportionately located near Historically and predominately Black communities. This historic port was once low-lying marshland and was infilled by industries in the early 1900s. These areas have existing brownfield sites that are continuously flooded by rising sea levels, hurricanes, and all exacerbated by rising water tables from sea level rise. Demographics of the region, social vulnerability, various flood risks, and various environmental hazards are mapped and an analysis was completed that shows compounding impacts.
