LaMoure County, ND flood risk explained
Flood hazard in LaMoure County sits at the 5.5th national percentile, 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 once every 3 years. This describes the county, not any one street — FEMA only publishes exact parcel zones through a live map service.
LaMoure County's flood-insurance compliance gap
FEMA hasn't published a residential structure count for LaMoure 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, 0.7% of all residential structures in LaMoure County carry flood coverage voluntarily or otherwise — relevant because most NFIP claims nationally come from outside the mapped SFHA.
LaMoure County against the rest of the country
Among the 3144 US counties FEMA scores for flood hazard, LaMoure County ranks 2979 — 1 being the highest hazard nationally — and 2880 by population among all 3144 counties covered here, where 1 is the largest.
