Johnson County, WY: flood risk, in FEMA's own numbers

On FEMA's National Risk Index, Johnson County scores at the 36.9th percentile for flood hazard, rated "Relatively Low" — below the national norm for flood hazard. 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 1 years. This describes the county, not any one street — FEMA only publishes exact parcel zones through a live map service.

Johnson County's flood-insurance compliance gap

FEMA hasn't published a residential structure count for Johnson 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, 0.3% of all residential structures in Johnson County carry flood coverage voluntarily or otherwise — relevant because most NFIP claims nationally come from outside the mapped SFHA.

Johnson County against the rest of the country

Among the 3144 US counties FEMA scores for flood hazard, Johnson County ranks 2049 — 1 being the highest hazard nationally — and 2507 by population among all 3144 counties covered here, where 1 is the largest. About 8,803 people live in Johnson County, Wyoming, spread over 4,154.152 square miles.
