Hoonah-Angoon Census Area, AK: flood risk, in FEMA's own numbers
On FEMA's National Risk Index, Hoonah-Angoon Census Area scores at the 22.8th percentile for flood hazard, rated "Very Low" — among the lowest flood hazard in the country. The hazard here is driven by coastal storm surge rather than inland rivers — FEMA's model puts a surge event here at about once every 83 years. That's a county-wide figure, not a per-address one — FEMA's parcel maps are a live lookup, not a bulk file.
Mandatory flood insurance compliance in Hoonah-Angoon Census Area
FEMA hasn't published a residential structure count for Hoonah-Angoon Census Area'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 Hoonah-Angoon Census Area carry flood coverage voluntarily or otherwise — relevant because most NFIP claims nationally come from outside the mapped SFHA.
