Abstract
Cities around the world face both acute and ongoing stressors from climate change and other shocks. The degree to which linguistic, ethnic, and citizenship characteristics drive vulnerability, social connectedness, and mental health outcomes during such shocks remains an open question. Analyzing a new survey of nearly 240 residents of Cloverdale using regression models and social network analysis, we find that non White residents faced poorer outcomes across a variety of fields. Controlling for age, income, job status, and other demographic factors we find that Hispanic identities correlate with worse vulnerability and resilience indicators including worse mental health and feelings of support. These findings come with a variety of policy recommendations for cities, NGOs, and decision makers.
