Parcel Risk Report
How do Inyo County neighborhoods rate for flood risk on FEMA's National Risk Index?
FEMA's official flood map draws the 1%-annual-chance floodplain. FEMA's National Risk Index adds a comparative flood-risk rating for every census tract — a broader, neighborhood-scale measure (it reflects expected losses and vulnerability, not just the floodplain) that complements the map rather than contradicting it.
3 of 6
census tracts in Inyo County are rated Relatively High or higher for riverine or coastal flood risk by FEMA's National Risk Index.
| Census tracts in Inyo County | 6 |
| … rated Relatively High or Very High for flood (riverine or coastal) | 3 |
These are tract-level ratings (neighborhood scale), not parcel-precise, and not a count of individual homes — see the note below. Every figure is from FEMA's National Risk Index:

How this figure is derived (and what it is not)
- Counts come straight from FEMA's National Risk Index census-tract layer, filtered to Inyo County (state-county FIPS 06027).
- A tract is counted when its riverine or coastal flood rating is "Relatively High" or "Very High" — FEMA's own categorical ratings, never a proprietary score.
- This is a tract (neighborhood) count, not a homes count. A precise "homes outside the FEMA flood zone" figure can't be derived from the free National Risk Index data, so we don't claim one.
- This is general public-data information — not a Natural Hazard Disclosure Statement, and it does not satisfy California Civil Code §1103.2.
