Is Logan County, WV in a flood zone?
FEMA's National Risk Index puts Logan County's flood hazard at the 89.4th percentile nationally — a middling flood hazard by national standards — driven by inland rivers and flash flooding rather than the coast — FEMA's model puts a flood event here at about 1.8 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.
Logan County's flood-insurance compliance gap
Out of 3,390 homes FEMA counts inside Logan County's mapped flood zone, 281 carry the flood policy federal law requires there — 8.3% compliance, short of full coverage. Across all residential structures in Logan County, not just the ones FEMA mandates, 2.4% carry an NFIP policy — most flood damage nationally happens outside the mapped high-risk zone, so that broader number matters too.
