California's Sinking Central Valley: $1.87 Billion in Home Value Losses
Excessive groundwater pumping in California's Central Valley has caused the land to sink as much as one inch per year, resulting in $1.87 billion in home value losses between 2015 and 2021 due to land instability and related issues.
