Beaver County, OK flood risk explained
Flood hazard in Beaver County sits at the 5.3th national percentile, among the lowest flood hazard in the country; driven by inland rivers and flash flooding rather than the coast — FEMA's model puts a flood event here at about once every 2 years. County-wide, not parcel-specific: FEMA's real flood-zone map is queried live, never shipped as a download.
Beaver County's flood-insurance compliance gap
FEMA hasn't published a residential structure count for Beaver County's mapped flood zone, so a reliable mandatory-compliance percentage can't be computed here — see the data quality guide for why this gap exists for roughly a quarter of US counties. Looking beyond the mandated zone, 0.1% of all residential structures in Beaver County carry flood coverage voluntarily or otherwise — relevant because most NFIP claims nationally come from outside the mapped SFHA.
Beaver County against the rest of the country
Among the 3144 US counties FEMA scores for flood hazard, Beaver County ranks 2985 — 1 being the highest hazard nationally — and 2818 by population among all 3144 counties covered here, where 1 is the largest. Beaver County, Oklahoma covers 1,814.837 square miles and counts roughly 5,025 residents.
Your street may differ from Beaver County's average
