Yakutat City and Borough, AK: flood risk, in FEMA's own numbers

On FEMA's National Risk Index, Yakutat City and Borough scores at the 0.3th percentile for flood hazard, rated "No Rating" — not rated by FEMA’s risk index.

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

FEMA hasn't published a residential structure count for Yakutat City and Borough'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% of all residential structures in Yakutat City and Borough carry flood coverage voluntarily or otherwise — relevant because most NFIP claims nationally come from outside the mapped SFHA.
