The health impacts of heat exposure are unequally experienced, with certain subpopulations particularly vulnerable to the effects of rising global temperatures. Manufactured Housing (MH) – transportable residential units constructed off-site before being moved to a parcel, organized either in Parks or Non-Parks tenure types – presents a diverse housing type that is hypothesized to be more vulnerable to extreme heat. This dataset contains land cover and housing type for 1.7 million parcels in three of Arizona’s urbanized areas. The data supports research confirming the hypothesis that residents of MH are more likely to experience heat vulnerability than those in single-family housing, multifamily housing, and condos/townhouses due to an average lack of proximate vegetation.
