Skagway Municipality, AK: flood risk, in FEMA's own numbers
On FEMA's National Risk Index, Skagway Municipality scores at the 0.3th percentile for flood hazard, rated "No Rating" — not rated by FEMA’s risk index. The hazard here is split between inland river flooding (about once every 100 years) and coastal storm surge (about once every Infinity years). This describes the county, not any one street — FEMA only publishes exact parcel zones through a live map service.
Skagway Municipality's flood-insurance compliance gap
FEMA hasn't published a residential structure count for Skagway Municipality'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, 0.7% of all residential structures in Skagway Municipality carry flood coverage voluntarily or otherwise — relevant because most NFIP claims nationally come from outside the mapped SFHA.
Skagway Municipality against the rest of the country
Among the 3144 US counties FEMA scores for flood hazard, Skagway Municipality ranks 3135 — 1 being the highest hazard nationally — and 3102 by population among all 3144 counties covered here, where 1 is the largest.

Where Skagway Municipality's figures come from
