    No offense to the study but the first paragraph explains everything:

    Frequently located on hillsides and in canyons surrounded by wildlands, rich neighborhoods are more likely to catch fire. However, a UC Riverside study shows they are also likely to recover faster than lower-income areas.

    Nationally, neighborhoods with higher proportions of white residents had lower odds of experiencing fire. In California and other dry parts of the West, however, that relationship was reversed, with white as well as Black populations experiencing greater odds of exposure.

    Why do americans always looks for that correlation? Why is never, I don’t know, bimbos and whatever are male bimbos called, for example?

    Edit: according to wikipedia it’s himbo
