Hansford County, TX Flood Zone & Flood Risk Data
Hansford County, TX: flood risk, in FEMA's own numbers
On FEMA's National Risk Index, Hansford County scores at the 3.9th 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 4 years. That's a county-wide figure, not a per-address one, FEMA's parcel maps are a live lookup, not a bulk file.
Hansford County's flood-insurance compliance gap
FEMA hasn't published a residential structure count for Hansford 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 Hansford County carry flood coverage voluntarily or otherwise, relevant because most NFIP claims nationally come from outside the mapped SFHA.
