Conejos County, CO: flood risk, in FEMA's own numbers

This describes the county, not any one street, FEMA only publishes exact parcel zones through a live map service.
Conejos County's flood-insurance compliance gap
FEMA hasn't published a residential structure count for Conejos 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, 0.2% of all residential structures in Conejos County carry flood coverage voluntarily or otherwise, relevant because most NFIP claims nationally come from outside the mapped SFHA.
