Huron County, OH flood risk explained
Flood hazard in Huron County sits at the 60.5th national percentile, below the national norm for flood hazard; driven by inland rivers and flash flooding rather than the coast — FEMA's model puts a flood event here at about 1.1 times a year. That's a county-wide figure, not a per-address one — FEMA's parcel maps are a live lookup, not a bulk file.
Huron County's flood-insurance compliance gap
Out of 185 homes FEMA counts inside Huron County's mapped flood zone, 34 carry the flood policy federal law requires there — 18.4% compliance, short of full coverage. Looking beyond the mandated zone, 0.3% of all residential structures in Huron County carry flood coverage voluntarily or otherwise — relevant because most NFIP claims nationally come from outside the mapped SFHA.
Where Huron County ranks
Among the 3144 US counties FEMA scores for flood hazard, Huron County ranks 1299 — 1 being the highest hazard nationally — and 911 by population among all 3144 counties covered here, where 1 is the largest. Huron County, Ohio is home to about 58,168 people across 492.244 square miles of land.
