Is Winn Parish, LA in a flood zone?
FEMA's National Risk Index puts Winn Parish's flood hazard at the 40.9th percentile nationally — 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 1 times a year. This describes the county, not any one street — FEMA only publishes exact parcel zones through a live map service.
Who actually carries the flood insurance FEMA requires
Out of 244 homes FEMA counts inside Winn Parish's mapped flood zone, 22 carry the flood policy federal law requires there — 9% compliance, short of full coverage. Across all residential structures in Winn Parish, not just the ones FEMA mandates, 0.7% carry an NFIP policy — most flood damage nationally happens outside the mapped high-risk zone, so that broader number matters too.
