Menominee County, MI: flood risk, in FEMA's own numbers
On FEMA's National Risk Index, Menominee County scores at the 44.8th percentile for flood hazard, rated "Relatively Low" — below the national norm for flood hazard. The hazard here is split between inland river flooding (about once every 3 years) and coastal storm surge (about once every 77 years). That's a county-wide figure, not a per-address one — FEMA's parcel maps are a live lookup, not a bulk file.
Menominee County's flood-insurance compliance gap
Out of 1,075 homes FEMA counts inside Menominee County's mapped flood zone, 39 carry the flood policy federal law requires there — 3.6% compliance, short of full coverage. Looking beyond the mandated zone, 0.5% of all residential structures in Menominee County carry flood coverage voluntarily or otherwise — relevant because most NFIP claims nationally come from outside the mapped SFHA.
How Menominee County compares nationally
Among the 3144 US counties FEMA scores for flood hazard, Menominee County ranks 1797 — 1 being the highest hazard nationally — and 1682 by population among all 3144 counties covered here, where 1 is the largest.

Your street may differ from Menominee County's average
