Abstract
Full impact assessment of tropical cyclones each year requires a comprehensive sociodemographic analysis. We evaluated sociodemographic characteristics of tropical cyclone-impacted regions during the 2024 calendar year in recent historical context of 1980-2024. In 2024, tropical cyclone-force wind affected an estimated 429,902,820 people (5.5% of global population), and hurricane-force wind an estimated 59,672,600 people (0.8%). Our findings provide a global context for tropical cyclones to better guide resilience and recovery efforts.
