Here we compare counties with similar exposures under different spatial zones to show similarity in one zone does not translate to similar exposure under a different spatial zone. MHHW is the Mean Higher High Water, EAE is the expected annual exposure, RL100 is the 100-year Floodplain, and LECZ is the Low-Elevation Coastal Zone.
