Is Beaverhead County, MT in a flood zone?
FEMA's National Risk Index puts Beaverhead County's flood hazard at the 36.3th percentile nationally — below the national norm for flood hazard — driven by inland rivers and flash flooding rather than the coast — FEMA's model puts a flood event here at about once every 6 years. County-wide, not parcel-specific: FEMA's real flood-zone map is queried live, never shipped as a download.
Beaverhead County's flood-insurance compliance gap
Beaverhead County is one of the counties where FEMA's own denominator for mandated flood-zone structures is missing, so no compliance rate is shown rather than a guessed one — the data quality guide covers how common this is. Across all residential structures in Beaverhead County, not just the ones FEMA mandates, 0.5% carry an NFIP policy — most flood damage nationally happens outside the mapped high-risk zone, so that broader number matters too.
