Victoria County, TX: flood risk, in FEMA's own numbers
On FEMA's National Risk Index, Victoria County scores at the 71.2th percentile for flood hazard, rated "Relatively Low" — below the national norm for flood hazard. 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 1.9 times a year. That's a county-wide figure, not a per-address one — FEMA's parcel maps are a live lookup, not a bulk file.
Victoria County's flood-insurance compliance gap
FEMA hasn't published a residential structure count for Victoria 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, 2.8% of all residential structures in Victoria County carry flood coverage voluntarily or otherwise — relevant because most NFIP claims nationally come from outside the mapped SFHA.
How Victoria County compares nationally
Among the 3144 US counties FEMA scores for flood hazard, Victoria County ranks 942 — 1 being the highest hazard nationally — and 662 by population among all 3144 counties covered here, where 1 is the largest. About 91,949 people live in Victoria County, Texas, spread over 882.087 square miles.
Your street may differ from Victoria County's average
FEMA counts 33,465 residential structures in Victoria County overall, 939 of them carrying some form of NFIP coverage — but a lender or insurer cares about one parcel, not that county total.
