Daggett County, UT flood risk explained
Flood hazard in Daggett County sits at the 0.9th 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 3 years. County-wide, not parcel-specific: FEMA's real flood-zone map is queried live, never shipped as a download.
Who actually carries the flood insurance FEMA requires
FEMA hasn't published a residential structure count for Daggett 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 Daggett County carry flood coverage voluntarily or otherwise — relevant because most NFIP claims nationally come from outside the mapped SFHA.

Among the 3144 US counties FEMA scores for flood hazard, Daggett County ranks 3120 — 1 being the highest hazard nationally — and 3109 by population among all 3144 counties covered here, where 1 is the largest. Daggett County, Utah covers 696.514 square miles and counts roughly 956 residents.
