Minidoka County, ID flood risk explained
Flood hazard in Minidoka County sits at the 32.1th 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 6 years. This describes the county, not any one street — FEMA only publishes exact parcel zones through a live map service.
Minidoka County's flood-insurance compliance gap
FEMA hasn't published a residential structure count for Minidoka 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, 0.1% of all residential structures in Minidoka County carry flood coverage voluntarily or otherwise — relevant because most NFIP claims nationally come from outside the mapped SFHA.
Where Minidoka County ranks
Among the 3144 US counties FEMA scores for flood hazard, Minidoka County ranks 2194 — 1 being the highest hazard nationally — and 1693 by population among all 3144 counties covered here, where 1 is the largest. Minidoka County, Idaho covers 757.227 square miles and counts roughly 22,691 residents.
Your street may differ from Minidoka County's average
