ST5th
US9th
Definition & source ›

FEMA’s modeled estimate, in dollars per year, of the average harm to people expected from natural hazards — an annualized average, not a forecast for any single year.

Outer-floodplain exposure

2.4%

in the top 13.3% nationally

Lower is healthier

ST93rd
US87th
Definition & source ›

The share of this ZIP’s land area inside FEMA’s 0.2%-annual-chance flood band — the “500-year” zone, a lower but real 1-in-500 yearly chance.

Measured from FEMA’s mapped flood panels. Where a panel has not been mapped, no value is published for that ZIP — those ZIPs are absent from this comparison rather than counted as unexposed.

On the measures in hand, a few readings come through: modeled expected annual loss sits in the bottom 8.9% nationally, humid heat stands in the bottom 23% nationally, and energy burden resides in the bottom 25% nationally. Walkability sits in the top 33% nationally, and distance to a hazardous-chemical facility stands in the top 35% nationally. Against that, outer-floodplain exposure resides in the top 13.3% nationally, and distance to a Superfund site sits in the bottom 18% nationally. Park land stands at the national minimum, shared with about 48% of ZIPs. Modeled tree cover resides in the bottom 31% nationally.

Set within its surrounding area, park land runs far lower than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. Defined simply, for reference, expected annual loss is FEMA's modeled estimate, in dollars, of average yearly harm to people from natural hazards. Distance to a Superfund site is an abandoned or uncontrolled hazardous-waste site the EPA has identified for cleanup. 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.

About the ± — it’s this estimate’s give-or-take (statisticians call it the standard error). The true life expectancy for this ZIP most likely falls within 1.56 years of 81.3, and it’s very unlikely to be off by more than twice that.
