Official source figures, as of 14 August 2026. Calculated from National Flood Insurance Program policy records published by FEMA. These are premiums other policyholders paid, not a quote or an offer of coverage.

Households in Glades County paid a median of $813 a year for flood insurance on single-family homes, calculated from 461 National Flood Insurance Program policies written since January 2023. That is about 9% below the statewide median of $893 across the same 2023 to 2026 period.

Premiums have climbed every year since 2023, so a figure pooled across four years sits below what a policy written today costs. The year-by-year table further down shows where Glades County stands now.

A quarter of those households paid less than $667, and a quarter paid more than $1,043. That spread matters more than the midpoint, because since Risk Rating 2.0 every property is priced on its own characteristics rather than on a zone average.

Glades County is one of the smaller markets in this dataset, with 461 policies behind the figure. The median is reliable, but expect it to move more between refreshes than in counties with tens of thousands of policies.

What each flood zone costs in Glades County

The rated flood zone is the strongest single predictor of cost. These are the medians inside Glades County, restricted to zones with at least 30 policies.

Zone Median Policies
X $903 226
A $641 104
AE $892 90
AH $810 37

The gap is wide: Zone X runs at $903 while Zone A sits at $641. Two homes a few streets apart can fall either side of that line, which is why a county average on its own tells you very little.

Where this figure comes from

These are premiums that policyholders actually paid, taken from FEMA policy records and filtered to single-family homes on twelve-month terms. They include the federal policy fee and the HFIAA surcharge, because those appear on the bill.
