What stands out

What we found in Bailén

It comes from matching each building with its neighbourhood, its street, the nearest watercourse and its surroundings.

1

From 52 to 96 tropical nights a year

52→96 nights

In a typical building in Bailén, nights when the temperature stays at or above 20 °C would rise from 52 a year (1991-2020) to about 96 by 2050. For this reason, 100 % of homes would be at a high or very high level.

Median of the buildings. Intermediate-to-high emissions scenario (SSP3-7.0).

305 homes at very high wildfire risk

488 buildings

These are 488 buildings right next to vegetation that can burn. Almost all are houses (488), on the edges of the town and in housing estates.

Proximity to woodland and to burnt areas (ESA WorldCover, EFFIS). It does not measure the state of the vegetation or any firebreaks.

48 in every 100 buildings were built before 1980

48 %

They were built before the first thermal insulation standard (1979). With 96 tropical nights a year by 2050, they will hold the most heat at night and have the most to gain from a retrofit.

Year of construction from the Cadastre.

2 schools in heat islands

2 of 6

Schools whose surroundings are at least 1 °C hotter than the municipal median in summer. They are the first candidates for shade and tree-lined playgrounds.

What can be done

For the town council and for residents

For the town council and its technical staff

  • Climate shelters, and late-afternoon and evening opening hours at libraries and community centres in the areas with the most tropical nights.
  • Shade and trees in the playgrounds of the 2 schools with the hottest surroundings.
  • Firebreaks and evacuation routes in the streets that border woodland.
  • Download the tables by area, neighbourhood, street and watercourse (Data tab) to cross-check them with urban planning.

For residents

  • Air your home in the early hours, shade west-facing walls from the sun and ask about grants to insulate the roof.
  • Keep the strip around your house clear of dry vegetation and know both ways out of your street.
  • Look up your building: the free report gives its level for each hazard, and the Climate Note gives the full detail.
