Grant County, NE: flood risk, in FEMA's own numbers

On FEMA's National Risk Index, Grant County scores at the 0.6th 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 14 years. That's a county-wide figure, not a per-address one — FEMA's parcel maps are a live lookup, not a bulk file.

Who actually carries the flood insurance FEMA requires

FEMA hasn't published a residential structure count for Grant 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% of all residential structures in Grant County carry flood coverage voluntarily or otherwise — relevant because most NFIP claims nationally come from outside the mapped SFHA.

Grant County against the rest of the country
