With the deadliest U.S. wildfires ever estimated to have caused $5.5 billion in damage and claimed nearly 100 lives in Hawaii, and the damage and death tolls growing, the personal-finance website WalletHub recently released its report on the States Most Impacted by Natural Disasters.

To determine the states most impacted by natural disasters, WalletHub compared the 50 states across two key metrics. Those metrics are the number of climate disasters causing at least $1 billion in damage since 1980, as well as the loss amount per capita of those disasters. The current situation in Hawaii is especially impactful given the fact that Hawaii normally has few natural disasters causing at least $1 billion in damage, which is highlighted by our ranking.

Natural Disaster Impact in New Hampshire (1=Most, 25=Avg.):

  • 46th - Number of Climate Disasters Causing $1 Billion+ in Damage (1980 - 2023)
  • 44th - Loss Amount from Climate Disasters Causing $1 Billion+ in Damage per Capita (1980 - 2023)
