Price County, WI flood risk explained
Flood hazard in Price County sits at the 38.7th national percentile, below the national norm for flood hazard; driven by inland rivers and flash flooding rather than the coast — FEMA's model puts a flood event here at about once every 3 years. This describes the county, not any one street — FEMA only publishes exact parcel zones through a live map service.
Price County's flood-insurance compliance gap
FEMA hasn't published a residential structure count for Price 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, 0.2% of all residential structures in Price County carry flood coverage voluntarily or otherwise — relevant because most NFIP claims nationally come from outside the mapped SFHA.
Price County against the rest of the country
Among the 3144 US counties FEMA scores for flood hazard, Price County ranks 1991 — 1 being the highest hazard nationally — and 2157 by population among all 3144 counties covered here, where 1 is the largest. Price County, Wisconsin is home to about 14,087 people across 1,254.059 square miles of land.
Your street may differ from Price County's average
