Dodge County, GA: flood risk, in FEMA's own numbers
On FEMA's National Risk Index, Dodge County scores at the 31.6th percentile for flood hazard, rated "Very Low" — among the lowest flood hazard in the country. The hazard here is 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. This describes the county, not any one street — FEMA only publishes exact parcel zones through a live map service.
Mandatory flood insurance compliance in Dodge County
Out of 67 homes FEMA counts inside Dodge County's mapped flood zone, 5 carry the flood policy federal law requires there — 7.5% compliance, short of full coverage. Looking beyond the mandated zone, 0.1% of all residential structures in Dodge County carry flood coverage voluntarily or otherwise — relevant because most NFIP claims nationally come from outside the mapped SFHA.
