Modeled disaster risk stands in the bottom 6.2% nationally. Modeled extreme heat resides at the national minimum, shared with about 19% of ZIPs.

Disaster risk is the area's national rank on its highest non-flood peril in FEMA's modeled Risk Index, like wildfire or quake. Distance to a hazardous-chemical facility is a plant handling large amounts of hazardous chemicals that must file an EPA risk-management plan for accidental releases.
