Pratt County, KS: flood risk, in FEMA's own numbers
On FEMA's National Risk Index, Pratt County scores at the 15.2th percentile for flood hazard, rated "Very Low" — among the lowest flood hazard in the country. The hazard here is driven by inland rivers and flash flooding rather than the coast — FEMA's model puts a flood event here at about once every 2 years. That's a county-wide figure, not a per-address one — FEMA's parcel maps are a live lookup, not a bulk file.
Pratt County's flood-insurance compliance gap
FEMA hasn't published a residential structure count for Pratt 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, 0.3% of all residential structures in Pratt County carry flood coverage voluntarily or otherwise — relevant because most NFIP claims nationally come from outside the mapped SFHA.
Pratt County against the rest of the country
Among the 3144 US counties FEMA scores for flood hazard, Pratt County ranks 2697 — 1 being the highest hazard nationally — and 2482 by population among all 3144 counties covered here, where 1 is the largest. About 9,137 people live in Pratt County, Kansas, spread over 735.039 square miles.
Your street may differ from Pratt County's average
