Distance to Coast and Distance to Shoreline are widely used in the insurance risk business, real estate planning, architecture, etc. For example, property insurance underwriters use DTC to determine how likely a property near a coastal shore is to sustain storm damage. Typically properties less than 100 miles inland are considered a risk, with those closest to the water assigned the highest risk level.
