How much flood risk does Falls County actually carry?
Falls County lands at the 24.1th percentile of FEMA's National Risk Index for flooding, "Very Low" territory — among the lowest flood hazard in the country — with the hazard driven by inland rivers and flash flooding rather than the coast — FEMA's model puts a flood event here at about once every 1 years. County-wide, not parcel-specific: FEMA's real flood-zone map is queried live, never shipped as a download.
Falls County's flood-insurance compliance gap
Falls 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 Falls County, not just the ones FEMA mandates, 0% carry an NFIP policy — most flood damage nationally happens outside the mapped high-risk zone, so that broader number matters too.
Falls County against the rest of the country
Falls County sits at rank 2426 of 3144 counties on FEMA's flood hazard scale (1 is worst) and rank 1947 of 3144 by population (1 is biggest). About 17,752 people live in Falls County, Texas, spread over 765.495 square miles.
Your street may differ from Falls County's average
