Risk Summary

Massachusetts is primarily a coastal and heavy-rain flood state, with increasing heat stress in older Northeast housing stock.

Risk is highest along the coast and in flood-prone urban corridors, while inland areas face river flooding and heat adaptation challenges.

Insurance Market

Insurance remains available but costs are higher in coastal and repetitive-flood areas.

  • Older homes can be costly to adapt for both flood and heat resilience.
  • Waterfront desirability often sits directly on top of risk.
