Map-Me

Climate Preferences

This survey is intended to gauge how climate change is shaping people's ideas about which parts of the US are desirable to live. You will be shown a map of the continental US. Imagine you are considering buying property and moving somewhere within the US. Considering climate change related-factors alongside other personal preferences, where do you think would be the most desirable areas to move? Where do you think would be the least desirable?

You will be asked to annotate the map using a color-coded spray tool. Please color areas that you regard as desirable or undesirable as prompted. You may zoom in or out to make your answers more general or specific as you wish. The focus of the study is on the continental US, so points drawn outside these boundaries will be filtered out prior to analysis.
