Luce County, MI: flood risk, in FEMA's own numbers

On FEMA's National Risk Index, Luce County scores at the 15.5th percentile for flood hazard, rated "Very Low" — among the lowest flood hazard in the country. The hazard here is split between inland river flooding (about once every 28 years) and coastal storm surge (about once every 100 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 Luce County

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