Is Greenwood County, KS in a flood zone?

FEMA's National Risk Index puts Greenwood County's flood hazard at the 26.6th percentile nationally — 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 1.5 times a year. This describes the county, not any one street — FEMA only publishes exact parcel zones through a live map service.

Mandatory flood insurance compliance in Greenwood County

Across all residential structures in Greenwood 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.
