BUFFALO, N.Y. — NBC.com offers a tool to show how people in neighborhoods across the country are vulnerable to extreme heat.
The interactive map allows visitors to zoom into the area closest to your home, after typing in the county where you live.
You can hover over different sections of each county in Western New York, and it will show how many people in that area are considered vulnerable to high temperatures.
The vulnerability assessment comes from risk factors identified by the U.S. Census Bureau, and include factors included crowded housing and a lack of health insurance.
